Pudendal nerve block (PNB) is an effective diagnostic and/or treatment method for perineal pain. Various approach techniques, such as transperineal, transvaginal, computerised tomography (CT)- or sono-guided approach, have been suggested for this block. However, they have some limitations, such as high cost, difficulty to perform in practice, inaccurate and unreliable results and inconvenience. To overcome these limitations, we first tried C-arm-guided approach for accomplishing PNB in the prone position. Under the optimal ischial spine view of C-arm fluoroscopy, the block needle was placed on the tip of the ischial spine. Then a mixed solution for the block was administered. All of the 25 patients enrolled in this study were blocked successfully using this method. No side-effects or complications were observed in relation to the block. We concluded that the C-arm-guided approach for PNB is an effective alternative to the existing techniques, which can overcome their limitations.
阴部神经阻滞(PNB)是一种治疗会阴疼痛的有效诊断和/或治疗方法。针对这种阻滞,已经提出了各种进针技术,如经会阴、经阴道、计算机断层扫描(CT)或超声引导进针。然而,它们存在一些局限性,如成本高、实际操作困难、结果不准确且不可靠以及不便。为克服这些局限性,我们首次尝试在俯卧位使用C形臂引导进针来完成PNB。在C形臂荧光透视的最佳坐骨棘视图下,将阻滞针置于坐骨棘尖端。然后注入用于阻滞的混合溶液。本研究纳入的所有25例患者均使用该方法成功完成阻滞。未观察到与阻滞相关的副作用或并发症。我们得出结论,C形臂引导下的PNB进针方法是现有技术的一种有效替代方法,可克服其局限性。
