& Objectives During transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) adductor muscle contraction can occur due to obturator nerve stimulation (1). Obturator nerve blockade (ONB) is a accepted method to decrease the risk of obturator nerve reflex (ONR) during TURB (2). Insufficient ONB and subsequent leg jerking lead to bladder perforation, increased bleeding and early tumor relapse (3). The effect of two types of local anesthetics (LA / lidocaine vs. mepivacaine) on the success rate of ONB was tested.
