To compare the ability of the obturator nerve block (ONB) and increased plasma ignition distance practice (IPDP) techniques to inhibit obturator nerve reflex (ONR) occurring with bipolar transurethral resection of the bladder. Sixty patients who had a tumor placed at the lateral sidewall or had a tu...
