title: [Penile block. Block of ilio-inguinal and iliohypogastric nerves in children. Techniques, indications, advantages and adverse effects].
abstract: Peripheral blocks as penile blocks, ilio-inguinal ou ilio-hypogastric nerve blocks provide an useful alternative to caudal block in children, especially for penile surgery, herniotomy, and orchidopexy, frequently performed at this age. A precise anatomic location and a strict technique increase the success rate of these blocks. Complications are rare. Postoperative analgesia in ambulatory surgery is one of the best reasons to select these techniques. In addition they avoid prolonged motor effects observed with epidural anaesthesia.
