Aims: Considering the importance of proper pain control after hemorrhoidectomy and not using drugs due to their many side effects, we decided to conduct the present study with the aim of investigating the effect of Pudendal nerve block on reducing pain after hemorrhoidectomy.
Instrument & Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that was performed in 2019 with the participation of 120 patients who were candidates for hemorrhoidectomy. Patients were divided into two groups and for one group the Pudendal nerve block method was used and for the other group routine ward procedures were performed. Finally, pain intensity at 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery was evaluated and compared by McGill Visual Analog Scale.
Findings: Pain intensity in the second (p=0.001), sixth (p=0.005) and twelfth (p=0.014) hours (p=0.014) in the blocked group was significantly lower than the unblocked group, while the pain intensity between the two groups in 24 hours (p=0.215) was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: By comparing different methods of reducing pain and performing pudendal nerve block in different parts of the world and the desired results, it seems that the ischiorctal cavity block is a suitable method to reduce pain after surgery.
