Intraurethral Lidocaine After Endourology Procedure to Improve Dysuria in Anesthetized Patients
Many urological conditions are diagnosed and treated with the use of endourology procedures.
Unfortunately, dysuria is a common patient complaint following these procedures.
Intraurethral lidocaine instillation is regularly used prior to office-based endourology
procedures to alleviate dysuria, as well as, discomfort during the procedure.. Studies have
confirmed that office-based procedures using intraurethral lidocaine have resulted in less
patient reported dysuria. Many endourology procedures are done under general anesthesia such
as urinary stone treatments or resection of bladder tumors. There is a paucity of data
regarding the use of intraurethral lidocaine at the conclusion of these procedures evaluating
patient reported dysuria. We have designed a prospective, randomized, placebo controlled
trial to evaluate the role of intraurethral lidocaine instillation following endourology
procedures in the anesthetized patient.
