The effectiveness of Bupivacaine as a pre-emptivepudendal block among patients undergoing vaginal surgeries: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Abstract:Background: Pre-emptive analgesia using pudendal nerve block (PNB) with bupivacaine is commonly used in clinical practice during pelvic floor and vaginal surgeries.

To update the evidence base we summarised short- and intermediate-term outcomes of pre-emptive analgesia using pudendal nerve block with bupivacaine as an approach in the management of pelvic floor and vaginal surgeries. Methods: We searched the CENTRAL, PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, google scholar and Open Grey… Show more
