Inguinal funicular block with carbocaine effectively reduced pain during vasectomy surgery. While it did not significantly impact postoperative pain, it is recommended as an adjunct to standard local anesthesia for vasectomy procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Vasectomy is a common surgical procedure for male sterilization.
  • Effective pain management during and after vasectomy is crucial for patient comfort and satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of inguinal funicular block as an adjunct to local infiltration analgesia for vasectomy.
  • To compare pain levels during and after the procedure between the inguinal funicular block side and the control side.

Main Methods:

  • A double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving 57 male patients undergoing vasectomy.
  • Patients received 10 ml of 1% carbocaine on one side (inguinal funicular block) and 10 ml of isotonic NaCl on the contralateral side (control).
  • Pain and discomfort were assessed using a questionnaire during surgery and on postoperative days 1 and 3.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant reduction in intraoperative pain was observed on the side of the active inguinal funicular block (p < 0.0001).
  • No significant differences in pain levels were found between the two sides on the first and third postoperative days (p = 1.16-1.19).

Conclusions:

  • Inguinal funicular block with 1% carbocaine provides effective intraoperative analgesia during vasectomy.
  • It can be recommended as a valuable supplement to local infiltration analgesia of the vas deferens for improved surgical pain control.
