Magnesium Sulfate in Combination With Dexmedetomidine As Adjuvants to Levobupivacaine

Spermatic Cord Block Clinical Trial

Official title: Evaluation of Magnesium Sulfate in Combination With Dexmedetomidine As Adjuvants to Levobupivacaine for Augmenting Analgesia and Anesthesia in Ultrasound Guided Spermatic Cord Block For Testicular Sperm Extraction Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Using the spermatic cord block has been of great advantage, as it has been cost saving, efficient technique whether used inon its own or combination with a sedative or . Furthermore, it provides minimal cardiac risks, early case ambulation, satisfactory postoperative pain control, as well as a reduced hospital stay and cost. one of the major drawbacks of spermatic cord block is being a single injection technique, leading to a short postoperative analgesia duration. So, to overcome this flaw some adjuvants were proven to prolong the analgesia duration as Dexmetedomidine (Dex), and magnesium.
