In urologic procedures, genital regional block offers many advantages, such as shorter hospital stay, fewer anesthesia-related complications, good perioperative and postoperative pain control, and reduced surgery- related costs. This type of blockade has been used for numerous surgical procedures involving the genitalia, including circumcision, meatotomy, correction of Peyronie’s disease, dorsal incision of the prepuce, penile prosthesis insertion, scrotal and testicular surgery, hydrocelectomy, epididymal cyst, vasectomy, varicocelectomy, testicular biopsy, orchiectomy, and orchidopexy. The present review describes the regional anesthesia techniques used in urologic procedures involving the genitalia.
