Abstract
Local anesthesia sufficient for vasovasostomy, hydrocelectomy, spermatocelectomy or orchiectomy for prostatic carcinoma can be obtained with 10 to 12ml. 0.5 per cent bupivacaine hydrochloride injected through the spermatic cord approximately 1cm. below and medial to the pubic tubercle. The overlying skin is infiltrated with the same anesthetic. Preoperative and intraoperative sedation rarely is needed. The post-anesthetic recovery time is short and the need for postoperative analgesia is reduced.
