Local anaesthesia with eutectic cream of lidocaine and prilocaine for treatment of cicatrizial phimosis in outpatients.
The authors report their experience in ambulatory treatment of cicatrizial phimosis in outpatients, by using local anaesthesia with eutectic cream of lidocaine and prilocaine. This preliminary study shows that preparation seems to be effective and well tolerated. To the aim of getting a good analgesic result the most important aspects are a careful application of the cream all over the concerned area and an occlusive bandage for 60-90 minutes at least.
