Regional Anesthesia for Penile Inversion Vaginoplasties.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewPenile inversion vaginoplasty is a complex procedure performed as part of gender-affirming care. It is a highly complex procedure involving extensive genital deconstruction and reconfiguration. As a result, effective post-operative pain control is a central component of perioperative care in this patient population. This review aims to synthesize and consolidate the current evidence on regional anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing penile inversion vaginoplasty. RECENT
findingsEffective pain management is critical, as inadequate control has been associated with decreased patient satisfaction, prolonged hospital stays, increased opioid consumption, delayed ambulation, and higher overall healthcare costs. Pain management strategies emphasize multimodal analgesia, incorporating acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids (oral and intravenous), local anesthetic infiltration by surgeons, nerve blocks, and neuraxial anesthesia. Within Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, regional anesthesia, including neuraxial techniques and peripheral nerve blocks, has gained prominence and popularity, with substantial evidence demonstrating a reduction in overall opioid consumption and opioid-related adverse effects across a wide range of surgical procedures. Regional anesthesia is a key component of multimodal analgesia and ERAS pathways in penile inversion vaginoplasty. Consolidating current evidence may help clarify its role in optimizing postoperative pain control, reducing opioid exposure, and improving recovery and patient-centered outcomes in this population.
