Background and Objective: Hysteroscopy is considered as very important in the investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding. It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under either local or no anesthesia. This study was designed to compare the combination of paracervical block (PCB) and conscious sedation with paracervical block or conscious sedation alone for outpatient hysteroscopy i...

OBJECTIVE Operations performed with local anesthesia can sometimes be extremely painful and uncomfortable for patients. Our aim was to investigate the optimal analgesic method in saline infusion sonograms. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed in our Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology between March and August 2011. Ninety-six patients were included. Patients were randomly divided in...

BACKGROUND Evidence from randomized trials suggests that pain relief during oocyte retrieval is superior when adjunctive paracervical block is used in addition to sedation alone. Vaginal application of lidocaine gel is a non-invasive alternative to lidocaine paracervical block. The goal of the present trial was to compare analgesia with lidocaine vaginal gel versus lidocaine paracervical block....

An assessment of paracervical nerve block anaesthesia was made in 118 women during labour using 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200,000 parts of adrenaline added. The 82 multiparae were each given a single block and the 36 primigravidae a continuous block to try to provide the sole means of analgesia throughout the first stage of labour.Only 48% of the primigravidae required no other form of analgesia,...

BACKGROUND Cryosurgery is an effective treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, but it often causes pain and cramping. Both paracervical and mucosal blocks have been shown to provide relief from the pain and cramping associated with cryosurgery. The purpose of this article is to recommend the use of mucosal block, paracervical block, or no block on the basis of which procedure minimize...

OBJECTIVE Despite lack of efficacy data, the majority of first-trimester surgical abortions are performed with a paracervical block. Women may be unnecessarily exposed to a painful injection and potentially noxious medication. Our objective was to estimate the effect of a paracervical block and the effect of gestational age on patient pain perception. METHODS This was a randomized, single-bli...

BACKGROUND Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common gynecologic problem. Fractional curettage, evacuation and curettage, and dilatation curettage are common gynecologic procedures for investigation and treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. To perform all these procedures, anesthesia is needed but technique varies among hospitals. The standard procedure of uterine curettage was performed after pa...

The aim of the study was to investigate the analgesic efficacy of preoperative oral dexketoprofen trometamol, intravenous paracetamol, lidocaine spray, and paracervical block with ultracaine on curettage procedure. A total of 111 subjects with the request of pregnancy termination between 5 and 7 weeks of gestation were included in the study. The first group (control group) consisted of 20 parti...
