Aim of this study is to examine the effects of subcutaneously applied local anesthetics at trocar site in combination with intraoperative intraperitoneal analgesia on duration and character of pain in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic varicocelectomy.
Exclusion Criteria:
A total amount of 6 mL of 2% lidocaine was injected at the three trocar insertion sites (2 mL at each insertion site) prior to incision and 10 mL of 2% lidocaine was injected at the end of procedure, under the direct visualization of laparoscope, below and around the defect of the peritoneum at the site of varicocele.
Drug: 2% Lidocaine
Total amount of 6 mL of 0.5% levobupivacaine was injected at the three trocar insertion sites (2 mL at each) prior to incision and 10 mL of 2% lidocaine was injected at the end of procedure, under the direct visualization of laparoscope, below and around the defect of the peritoneum at the site of varicocele.
Drug: 0.5% levobupivacaine
No local or peritoneal administration of any local anesthetic prior, during and after the surgical procedure
6 mL of 2% lidocaine injected at the trocar insertion site.
6 mL of 0.5% levobupivacaine injected at the trocar insertion site.
