Ring block is the name of a nerve blocking local anesthesia procedure that is used to reduce the pain of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision.

Ring block was proposed by Broadman et al. (1987) to reduce the pain if a boy is to be circumcised. Broadman et al. proposed the use of low-dose intravenious fentanyl for post-operative pain relief.[1]


Ring block is considered to be more effective than dorsal penile nerve block or EMLA cream.[2]
