Conclusion
This study revealed that patients with NMIBC localized on lateral wall
of the bladder who received an obturator nerve blockade combined with
spinal anaesthesia had a significantly increased RFS, increased rate of
complete resection and adequate detrusor muscle sampling. Although we
could not observe statistically significant difference in terms of
perioperative complication rates, patients underwent obturator nerve
blockade combined with spinal anaesthesia had lower clinically
significant peroperative complication rates. The obturator nerve
blockade combined with spinal anaesthesia also contributes to the
correct staging of patients with lateral wall localized NMIBC, which
plays a critical role in their subsequent treatment.
