Randomized Trial to Determine the Effect of Dorsal Penile Block on Post-Robotic Prostatectomy Foley Discomfort
Patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) will be randomized in a
double-blind placebo controlled manner to undergo penile ring block injection at the time of
skin incision closure. A visual analog scale (VAS) based questionnaire including newly
developed foley discomfort scores will be administered at various time points
post-operatively.
