    Nitrofurazone and nitrofurantoin sodium effectively immobilize sperm, enabling intraoperative irrigation to ensure immediate postoperative sterility. This method simplifies post-procedure assessments and aids sterility assurance in resource-limited settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Postoperative sterility assessment often relies on time-consuming sperm analyses.
    • Ensuring sterility is crucial, especially in resource-limited settings with challenging follow-up.
    • Spermicidal agents may offer an alternative method for achieving sterility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of nitrofurazone and nitrofurantoin sodium irrigation for achieving intraoperative sterility.
    • To determine if this method can replace traditional postoperative sperm analyses.
    • To assess the feasibility of this approach in settings with limited follow-up capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Intraoperative irrigation with critical concentrations of nitrofurantoin sodium and nitrofurazone was performed in 16 patients.

  • Sperm immobilization was the primary endpoint assessed.
  • Postoperative sterility was evaluated in the immediate postoperative period.

    • Main Results:

    • Nitrofurantoin sodium and nitrofurazone demonstrated sperm immobilization at critical concentrations.
    • Intraoperative irrigation with these agents resulted in sterility in the immediate postoperative period for all 16 patients.
    • The procedure eliminated the need for postoperative sperm analyses.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative irrigation with nitrofurazone and nitrofurantoin sodium is an effective method for achieving immediate postoperative sterility.
    • This technique offers a practical alternative to conventional sperm analyses, particularly beneficial in resource-limited regions.
    • The study supports the use of these agents to ensure sterility and simplify postoperative management.
