Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Main Objective: confirming the hypothesis that the US-guided Dorsal penile nerve block will provide better and longer postoperative analgesia in circumcision patients when compared to the landmark technique.;Secondary Objective: Does the US-guided Dorsal penile nerve block reduce: time to discharge incidence of PONV analgesia need at home.;Primary end point(s): Postoperative anagesic need;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 hours postoperative	—
