Kids' nerve block study aims to pinpoint perfect needle placement
NCT ID NCT07348029
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 50 children aged 1-18 having penile surgery to find the best place and depth for a pudendal nerve block. Doctors will measure how far from the anus and how deep the needle needs to go, and see if that relates to the child's age, height, and weight. The goal is to improve pain control after surgery by gathering this anatomical data.

Who is studied
This study includes children aged 1-18 years who are undergoing penile surgery. Neurostimulation-guided pudendal nerve block will be performed, and anatomical measurements, including the horizontal distance from the anus to the needle insertion point and the depth from the skin to the pudendal nerve, will be recorded. Measurements will be taken separately for the right and left sides. Patient age, height, and weight will also be recorded, and their relationship with the anatomical measurements will be analyzed. The study will be conducted at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Department of Pediatric Surgery.
