'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' 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 , not eliminate, the [[pain]] if a boy is to be [[circumcised]]. Broadman et al. also proposed the use of low-dose intravenous fentanyl for post-operative pain relief.<ref name="broadman1987">{{REFjournal

Ring block is considered to be more effective than [[dorsal penile nerve block]] or [[EMLA ]] cream.<ref name="lander1997">{{LanderJ etal 1997}}</ref> {{Box|Boxtext=<big><b>This procedure does NOT totally eliminate [[pain]].
