Abstract

A circuncisão é uma prática comum em urologia pediátrica, com uma prevalência de cerca de 7%. Para minimizar o trauma psicológico em crianças, deve-se obter analgesia adequada durante a cirurgia e no pós-operatório. O método anestésico predominante é o bloqueio do nervo peniano dorsal, sendo a anestesia básica o fundamento do procedimento. Objetiva-se analisar a eficácia do bloqueio do nervo peniano dorsal no controle da dor pós-operatória de postectomia pediátrica. Para a revisão integrativa de literatura, foram selecionados estudos em inglês das bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e EMBASE dos últimos cinco anos. Os descritores de busca foram “circumcision”, “penile dorsal block” e “postectomy” e o operador booleano “AND”. Foram selecionados sete estudos, entre os anos de 2020 e 2023, e incluídas 1021 crianças do sexo masculino com idade entre 7 dias e 14 anos. Apesar da limitação amostral e da variação na técnica de bloqueio e na escolha do anestésico local entre os atuais estudos publicados na literatura, os bloqueios nervosos superaram os anestésicos tópicos, sendo o bloqueio do nervo peniano dorsal e os bloqueios caudais apresentando um perfil de segurança razoável.
