To Burdizzo or not to Burdizzo

[bobbie (imported)]

Click on my user name and look at posts I have made on bad things that happened in my use of burdizzo. I would cut and paste or otherwise place it here to be read, if I recalled how. & or its a pain to do on a laptop.

Put cursor at the start of the text you want to copy.

While holding the left mouse key go to the bottom of the text you want to copy. There should be a high-lighted area of the text you selected.

Right click the mouse in the high-lighted area. Select the copy item in the pull down menu.

Go to where you want to put the copied area. Put the cursor at the point where you want to start the copy.

Right click on the mouse and select the paste item.

You should have a copy made.

I bought the medical article online in "Urology" by M.E. Herzog and R.A. Santucci (volume 59 issue 6 page 946 (June 2002)). "

Incisionless in-office castration using a veterinary castration device (Burdizzo clamp)

).

They used an ordinary burdizzo (from www.syrvet.com) that they steam sterilized. They injected a local anesthetic around the spermatic cords (0.5% marcaine). Then they clamped each cord for 30 seconds.

There were no complications. The next day they reported no bruising, hematoma, or skin necrosis. Over the following months there was significant testes atrophy. Follow-up over the next year revealed no problems.

This is only one medical report but if done properly there should probably be no problems.

If you are going to go as far as using a burdizzo, why not just cut a 1/4 inch incision in the scrotum and fish out the cord then use a sterile suture and suture the cord before closing it up. It seems that you would get less trauma to the scrotum that way and your nuts would die for sure.

It sounds more and more that alcohol injection is the way to go. Everclear, that is. Rubbing alcohol will kill you.

I still have this vision that using hemostats to clamp off the cords would work and be less damaging to the parts you don't want to damage. Hemostats are used to clamp off things like this so shouldn't it work? I know they would need to remain clamped for a long time (not sure how long).

Took me a while but found an image showing blood supply to the testicles.

The problem is that you have to isolate the cord from everything you want to keep. So if you are clamping through the scrotum then the part of the scrotum will die from lack of blood.

I would pull the cords from one testicle to the side. Not across the entire scrotum. And I suppose you could actually get some plastic and make something even more targeted to the cord/blood supply and use with hemostats or vice grips or something.

Sounds like the idea now will be far more complex with the clamping. What is being proposed is far from being easy to do. Think you would need more then 2 hands with this clamping method.

Then there is the part where things get out of hand as in this case posted a short time ago. http://eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=17576

Think the risk with the forceps would have more chance of going wrong. Far more chance of needing emergency care. With banding the band is on for a very extended time. Could not see someone with a clamp on for many hours if not days.

exactly in this way i have cut out my semencords 20 years ago, around two inches of the cords at each site... and it was so horny!!!!! and never a problem..
