Superior hypogastric plexus block successfully treats severe penile pain after transurethral resection of the prostate.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Superior hypogastric plexus block has been used to treat cancer pain of the pelvis. METHODS: A patient with severe chronic nonmalignant penile pain after transurethral resection of the prostate underwent a single superior hypogastric plexus block with local anesthetic and steroid. The patient was also started on medications that treat neuropathic pain a few hours after the procedure was finished. RESULTS: The superior hypogastric plexus block resulted in complete pain relief immediately after the procedure. The pain relief continued at 1, 2, 4, and 8 months follow up. CONCLUSIONS: In this case of severe penile pain the superior hypogastric plexus block was useful diagnostically and therapeutically.[1]
