Summary
Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) is not uncommon in male patients under general
anesthesia, and it may cause patient agitation and exacerbated postoperative pain. In this
study, the investigators will enroll male patients undergoing elective prostate surgery with
urinary catheterization after anesthetic induction, and compare the efficacy of pudendal
nerve block (PNB) and intravenous tramadol in prevention of CRBD.
