title: Dorsal nerve block for management of intraoperative penile erection.
abstract: Intraoperative penile erection during general anesthesia can delay or prevent the completion of cystoscopic or penile surgical procedures. The dorsal penile nerve block is offered as a treatment for intraoperative erection. Advantages of this technique include less potential for cardiovascular complications and improved postoperative analgesia.
