Iran: Farshid Alizadeh's recent study found that using caudal block anesthesia instead of general anesthetic did not increase surgical problems, approving the Caudal epidural block (CEB) protocol as a safe approach in hypospadias treatment. The findings of this study were published in the Journal of Pediatric Urology on 19th November 2021.
CEB offers the advantage of lowering post-operative discomfort and maybe intra-operative hemorrhage in hypospadias surgery. However, some research has revealed that this method may raise the risk of post-operative problems. Therefore researchers performed this study to compare the complication rates of individuals who received CEB following hypospadias surgery vs those who did not.
