Prospective Comparison of Local Anesthesia with General or Spinal Anesthesia in Patients Treated with Microscopic Varicocelectomy
It is unclear whether local anesthesia (LA) is a viable and safe alternative to general anesthesia (GA) or spinal anesthesia (SA) for microscopic varicocelectomy. As a result, we designed a prospective trial to compare the pain relief, complications, and cost of LA with GA or SA in subinguinal micro...

description | It is unclear whether local anesthesia (LA) is a viable and safe alternative to general anesthesia (GA) or spinal anesthesia (SA) for microscopic varicocelectomy. As a result, we designed a prospective trial to compare the pain relief, complications, and cost of LA with GA or SA in subinguinal microscopic varicocelectomy (MSV), using the propensity score matching method (PSM). This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary hospital from February 2021 to April 2022. Patients who underwent subinguinal MSV for varicocele were enrolled. The perioperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores, anesthesia-associated side effects, and cost data were recorded, and PSM analysis was performed. Finally, 354 patients were included, of whom 61.0% (216) were treated with LA, and 39.0% (138) underwent GA or LA. After PSM, the patients in the LA group exhibited lower VAS scores both three hours and one day after surgery, and a lower incidence of postoperative analgesic requirement; a lower ratio of patients who experienced anesthesia-associated side effects was also observed in the LA group, compared with the GA or SA group (all p < 0.001). The rate of perioperative satisfaction for patients was higher, the hospital stays and days to return to normal activity were shorter, and the cost was less in the LA group than in the patients in the GA or SA group (all p < 0.001). This prospective PSM cohort demonstrated that LA has the advantages of perioperative pain relief, reduced anesthesia-associated side effects, and cost, compared with GA or SA. It indicated that LA is an effective and safe technique for subinguinal MSV, and may guide clinical practice. |
