Article Synopsis
  • Haemorrhoidectomy often leads to significant postoperative pain and a decline in quality of life for patients; this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an intraoperative perineal block as pain management for these surgeries.
  • In a controlled trial with 100 patients, those receiving the perineal block reported significantly less pain intensity, utilized fewer opioids, and enjoyed longer pain-free periods compared to those who only had spinal anaesthesia.
