Summary

To compare the acceptance, safety, and efficacy of needle-free jet anaesthetic technique (MadaJet) versus needle injection for sperm retrieval in patients with azoospermia.

Conditions

  • Male Infertility

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Madajet

The spermatic cord is firmly trapped between the middle finger, index finger and thumb of the left hand. The injector's sheath is placed over the spermatic cord with gentle pressure adjacent to the external inguinal ring. Depending upon the thickness of spermatic cord, three or four injections are consecutively administered around it, beginning from proximal to distal points.

PROCEDURE

Needle injection

The pubic tubercle is palpated on the side that is going to be blocked. The spermatic cord is then immobilised with the non-dominant hand between the thumb and index finger. Right after needle puncture with attached syringe and local anaesthetic solution is conducted at a point that is 1 cm inferior to and 1 cm medial to the pubic tubercle, pass the needle directly downward in a vertical fashion, which leads it into the spermatic cord. After a check-up (negative aspiration) for bleeding, approximately 3 mL of solution (Lidocaine 2%) is injected into the cord.
