A phase 1 study of an injectable lidocaine paste for spermatic cord block in men with chronic scrotal content pain.

Introduction: Patients with chronic scrotal content pain (CSCP) lack effective, non-invasive treatment options. We aimed to determine the local and systemic safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of a long-lasting local anesthetic in patients with CSCP.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-arm, phase 1, dose-escalating trial completed between October 2019 and March 2021.

Use of video education in postoperative patient counselling: A quality improvement initiative.

Introduction: This quality improvement study examined if a video-based resource could reduce delayed discharges after robotic prostatectomy while maintaining high levels of patient satisfaction.

Methods: From April 2018 to February 2020, all patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) were asked to complete an anonymous survey evaluating their perioperative experience. The quality improvement (QI) intervention started in March 2019 with a series of six educational videos being shown to all patients.
