General and spinal anesthesia are currently in widespread use during transurethral bladder tumor resection. However, local anesthetic methods are claimed to provide sufficient intra-operative analgesia and satisfactory post-operative pain management. We evaluated whether local levobupivacaine infiltration of the tumor would result in outcomes, in terms of intra-operative analgesia, similar to those for utilization of general anesthesia. Post-operative analgesia and patient satisfaction were also assessed.
