Purpose:In the present study, the impact of penile nerve block(PNB) on postoperative pain and CRBD in transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) patients were evaluated. Methods:Participants of the present study were selected from patients who performed TURP under spinal anesthesia for benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) between January 2018-July 2020. This study was planned as a single center, randomized-controlled prospective study. The patients were divided into two groups; Group 1 was administered Control(n:40), and Group 2 ultrasonography(USG) guided PNB(n:40). The patients were included in the Groups respectively. Visual analogue scale(VAS) scores were questioned and recorded in order to evaluate the postoperative pain complaints of the patients after the operation. In addition, in order to evaluate the CRBD, VAS scores were questioned and recorded as 0-1th hour, 1st-2nd hours, 2nd – 4th hours, 4th-8th hours, 8th-12th hours, and 12th-24th hours. In addition, postoperative pain and analgesic need were recorded. Tramodol was given to patients with moderate to severe CRBD. The findings was compared between to the Groups. Results:There was no statistical difference between Group 1 and Group 2 between demographic and per-operative data. The CRBD and pain-related VAS scores was significantly higher in Group 1 between the 0-8th hours. There was no difference between VAS scores in the postoperative 8-24th hours. In total 24 hours, Group 2’s need for tramodol for CRBD and pain was significantly less than Group 1. On examining the factors affecting CRBD in the multivariate analysis, age, body mass index(BMI), prostate volume, operation time do not affect CRBD statistically, only PNB reduces CRBD (p: 0.029). While less drug-related complications were observed in Group 2, no serious complications related to PNB were observed. Conclusion:PNB is the effective method for the decrease pain and CRBD after urological surgery.It will also reduce the need for analgesics, and provide the painless patients in postoperative period.

Objectives: There is no standardized and up-to-date education model for urology residents in our country. We aimed to describe our National E learning education model for urology residents. Methodology: The ERTP working group; consisting of urologists was established by Society of Urological Surgery to create E-learning model and curriculum at April 2018. Learning objectives were set up in order to determine and standardize the contents of the presentations. In accordance with the Bloom Taxonomy, 834 learning objectives were created for a total of 90 lectures (18 lectures for each PGY year). Totally 90 videos were shoot by specialized instructors and webcasts were prepared. Webcasts were posted at uropedia.com.tr, which is the web library of Society of Urological Surgery. Satisfaction of residents and instructors was evaluated with feedbacks. An assessment of knowledge was measured with multiple-choice exam. Results: A total of 43 centers and 250 urology residents were included in ERTP during the academic year 2018/2019. There were 93/38/43/34/25 urology residents at 1st/2nd/3rd/4th and 5th year of residency, respectively. Majority of the residents (99.1%) completed the ERTP. The overall satisfaction rate of residents and instructors were 4,29 and 4,67(min:1 so bad, max:5 so good). An assessment exam was performed to urology residents at the end of the ERTP and the mean score was calculated as 57.99 points (min:20, max:82). Conclusion: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the educational programs had to move online platforms. We used this reliable and easily accessible e-learning platform for standardization of training in urology on national basis. We aim to share this model with international residency training programs.
