Brief Summary:
Hypospadias is among the most common congenital genital malformations in boys and is typically treated through surgical intervention During pediatric urological surgery caudal anesthesia also known as a caudal block is frequently employed as a regional anesthetic technique It has proven to be a safe and effective anesthetic approach in children with a low rate of anesthesia-related complications However despite the low incidence of complications directly associated with the caudal block there is limited and inconclusive evidence regarding its impact on surgical complications Therefore this randomized controlled superiority trial aims to evaluate whether the use of caudal anesthesia compared to the dorsal penile block is associated with an increased incidence of urethrocutaneous fistulas and glans dehiscence following hypospadias repair
Detailed Description:
The rationale for conducting a comprehensive study arises from the limitations inherent in existing literature primarily due to selection bias and the retrospective nature of current evidence which fails to clarify whether caudal blocks lead to higher complication rates after hypospadias repair To fill this knowledge gap and address the clinical uncertainty surrounding this issue the only effective approach is to randomly assign patients undergoing hypospadias repair to receive either caudal or penile block anesthesia The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of a definitive trial and identify any methodological issues that must be resolved before committing significant resources to a full-scale study
This pilot study will assess the feasibility of conducting a large definitive parallel-group randomized controlled trial RCT to determine whether a dorsal penile block results in fewer postoperative complications than a caudal block in boys aged 6 to 48 months undergoing hypospadias repair
Hypospadias repair will be performed under standardized analgesic administration and participants may receive fentanyl 1-3 mcgkg at the anesthesiologists discretion Anesthesia will be induced via inhalation of airnitrous oxide and sevoflurane Based on a randomized allocation patients will receive either a caudal anesthetic block 025 bupivacaine 1 mlkg up to a maximum of 10 ml or a dorsal penile block bupivacaine without epinephrine 10-20 mlkg All patients will receive antiemetic prophylaxis with dexamethasone 150 mcgkg ondansetron 50 mcgkg acetaminophen suppository 40 mgkg and intravenous morphine 002-01 mgkg
At discharge patients will be prescribed oral morphine 02 mgkg every 4 hours as needed Ditropan 02 mgkg every 12 hours as needed Tylenol 15 mgkg per dose every 4 hours or ibuprofen 10 mgkg per dose every 6 hours Parents will administer these medications at their discretion Trimethoprim 2 mgkg will also be prescribed until catheter removal
