TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 146. Anesthesia of the Penis, Testicle, and Epididymis A1 - Reichman, Eric F. Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - A wide range of urologic procedures are performed using local or regional anesthesia. This includes an orchiectomy, inspection of the painful testis, release of a paraphimosis, dorsal slit, circumcision, and even a hydrocelectomy or varicocelectomy done in the Operating Room. Emergency Physicians can utilize some of the same anesthetic techniques, namely the penile or spermatic cord blocks, to safely and painlessly perform many procedures in the Emergency Department. These techniques are easy to learn, simple to perform, and have a low risk of serious complications.
