IPP Placement & Intracavernosal Block (NCT07246642)
Randomized Controlled Trial of Intracorporal Local Anesthesia vs Saline Prior to Placement of Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Placement
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is the gold standard for surgical management of erectile dysfunction (ED) and there is no consensus on the best postoperative pain management regimen. In the wake of the opioid epidemic, postoperative pain management is heavily scrutinized. The National Institute of Health estimated over 81,000 individuals died following overdose of any opioids in 2022 alone; of these, over 14,000 deaths were linked to prescription opioids. Thus, strategies to minimize postoperative pain should not only improve patient experience but also lessen the need to escalate to opioid usage.
