Özet: Objective: We aimed to indicate the effectiveness of local anesthesia in the treatment of hydrodistention in women with Bladder Pain Syndrome/interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC) in our study. Material and Method: The data of a total of 77 female patients who underwent hydrodistention treatment for BPS/IC in our clinic between January 2015 and July 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups as local anesthesia (LA, n=41) and spinal anesthesia (SA, n=36) groups according to the type of anesthesia applied. The groups were compared by determining the preoperative and postoperative O'Leary symptom index (SI) and problem index (PI), minimum voiding volume (MinVV), maximum voiding volume (MaxVV), average voiding volume (AvgVV) and daily frequency. Results: The mean age of the patients was 48.97±11.09 years in the LA group and 45.19±14.35 years in the SA group (p=0.197). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the preoperative European Society for the Study of Interstitial Cystitis (ESSIC) group (p=0.999). During the postoperative period, a median (IQR) improvement of 11.0 (2.0) points was observed in the SI of the LA group, while a median improvement of 11.0 (2.0) points were observed in the SA group (p=0.437). The median improvement in PI score was 8.4 (4.0) points in the SA group, while it was 7.0 (3.0) points in the LA group (p=0.415). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of improvements in minVV, maxVV, avgVV and daily frequency (p=0.480, p=0.460, p=0.614 and p=0.910, respectively). Conclusion: Hydrodistention treatment in women with BPS/IC can be performed safely and with high success rate under local anesthesia and it is well tolerated by the patients. Local anesthesia offers a minimally invasive treatment option as well as the advantage of avoiding possible complications of spinal, epidural or general anesthesia.
