Introduction and aim of the study : Spinal anaesthesia for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) does not prevent unintended stimulation of the obturator nerve when electro resection is performed on the lateral and Postero-lateral wall of the bladder. It results in muscle contraction of the adductor muscles of the thigh, which may lead to perforation of bladder wall with the resectoscope loop. The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of obturator nerve block by inguinal and transvesical approach. Materials and Methods: A prospective experimental study was done in the department of Urology Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period of November 2016 to April 2018. Total 60 Patients were included for the study as per inclusion and exclusion Criteria. Patients were than allocated purposively into two groups by simple random sampling. Group A consisted of 30 patients where obturator nerve block (ONB) was done by transvesical approach and Group B also consisted of 30 patients where ONB was done by inguinal approach. Results: In the present study, the baseline characteristics of the patients in Group-A and Group-B were almost similar having no statistically significant difference. Obturator jerk more frequently occurred in group-B, in 13 (56.37%) patients following TURBT compared to Group-A, where 05(16.67%) patients developed obturator jerk. The intergroup difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). In case of 26 (86.67%) patients tumour was completely resectable in group-A, while in 21 (70.00%) patients of Group- B tumour was completely resectable. This was not a statistically significant difference (P>0.05). There was no incidence of bladder wall perforation in group-A, wherears this complication occurred in 02 (06.67%) cases of Group-B (p>0.05). Mean operative time in Group-A and group-B is 50.46 (±11.64) and 59.10 (±15.83) respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that transvesical approach is better in case of Jerk elimination and Less Procedure related time than inguinal approach during TURBT Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 23, No. 2, July 2020 p.118-123

This work aimed to study the adoption of obturator nerve block (ONB) based on adaptive medical ultrasound imaging under C-means algorithm in transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). 120 patients with bladder tumors were diagnosed by C-means algorithm-based ultrasound imaging and were enrolled into group A (epidural anesthesia + resection), group B (general anesthesia), and group C (epidural anesthesia + ONB), each with 40 cases. The accuracy of the detection method, noise level, and complications before and after the operation were compared. All patients received TURBT for treatment. There was no significant difference in the general information of patients in each group ( P > 0.05 ). As a result, the correct segmentation rate of the tumor region segmented by ultrasound imaging by C-means algorithm reached 95.6%. The incidence of obturator nerve reflex (ONR) in group A (7.5%) was greatly inferior to groups B and C ( P < 0.05 ). The length of hospital stay in group A was (4.01 ± 1.43) days, which was notably different from groups B and C, with considerable difference among the three ( P < 0.05 ). In short, the adaptive medical ultrasound imaging under C-means algorithm was more accurate in the diagnosis of bladder tumors. Moreover, ONB can effectively reduce the ONR and the incidence of complications in patients.
