summary

Introduction and the aim of the study. The transurethral resection (TURT) is the basic treatment of the superficial tumours of urinary bladder. In case of lesion placed in neighbourhood of ureteral orifices in tract of resection comes to irritation of obturator nerve, which manifests in the contraction of thigh muscle adductors. The aim of study was the estimation of obturator nerve blockade effectiveness with help of local anaesthesia done with use of own construction set.
Material and method. 115 patients (average age 64 years) with tumor situated on lateral walls of urinary bladder were classified to obturator nerve anesthesia, when subarachnoid anesthesia was carried out earlier. In case of thigh muscles adductors reaction local anaesthesia was done additionally in neighbourhood of tumor basis by 2% Lidocain with the use of a needle made by one's own idea.
Results. In 12 cases after having stated discontent degree of obturator nerve blockade a decision to give anaesthetic was made what allowed to continue endoscopic operation. In this group complications associated with conducted procedure were not observed.
Conclusions. The blockade of obturator nerve with the help of local anaesthesia is a safe method, preventing the uncontrolled spasms of thigh muscle adductors, which protects from the perforation of bladder wall.
