Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Liposomal Bupivacaine

Participants in this arm will have a single injection of liposomal bupivacaine admixed with standard bupivacaine (266mg liposomal bupivacaine mixed with 50mg bupivacaine hydrochloride) at the conclusion of their surgical sperm retrieval procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Liposomal Bupivacaine

Intervention Type DRUG

After surgical sperm retrieval, the wound will be injected with liposomal bupivacaine (266 mg) mixed with standard bupivacaine (bupivacaine hydrochloride 50mg) for post-operative pain relief.

Standard Bupivacaine

Participants in this arm will have a single injection of standard bupivacaine (100mg bupivacaine hydrochloride) at the conclusion of their surgical sperm retrieval procedure.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Bupivacaine

Intervention Type DRUG

After surgical sperm retrieval, the wound will be injected only with standard bupivacaine (bupivacaine hydrochloride 100mg) for post-operative pain relief.
