Background: Spermatic cord block is a useful technique for providing anesthesia with scrotal pain and it has been described published in the urology literature more than 40 years. inguinal hernioplasty along spinal anaesthesia avoids potential risks of neuraxial general provides long-lasting postoperative analgesia. The aim this study to evaluate effect 0.5% Bupivacaine spermatic hernioplasty.M...

Phaeochromocytoma of the spermatic cord is very rare. It can arise anywhere in the distribution of cells of neural crest origin, but 80-90% arise in the adrenal medulla and only 3% are extra-abdominal. A small tumour may be asymptomatic because insufficient catecholamines are secreted to cause haemodynamic disturbance.

BACKGROUND Laparoscopy has gradually become the gold standard for the treatment of non-palpable testicles (NPT), with different success and complication rates. OBJECTIVES To evaluate outcomes of the one-stage laparoscopic orchiopexy for NPT in our department. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the medical files of patients who underwent laparoscopic orchidopexy with the identical techniqu...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of USG as a diagnostic tool to locate nonpalpable testis (NPT), using a new technique of tracking the spermatic cord. MATERIALS AND METHODS This technique was used in 197 instances of NPT over a period of 7 years. The presence or absence of the cord in the inguinal canal was recorded. The visualized spermatic cord was tracked down to the testis in extra-abdomin...

other than those now recorded, in which the full gravity of the condition was not appreciated by others, so that effective treatment was not adopted and fatal results occurred. The main points of the history are usually the same, the patients may or may not have been debilitated by previous ill-health from malaria, dysentery. Most of them previous to the attack were in their usual health. The a...

The unusual complexity of the testicular blood vessels of eutherian mammals has been shown to have haemodynamic and thermoregulatory significance. The pulse wave of pressure passing down the long, coiled internal spermatic artery of the ram (Waites & Moule, 1960), dog (Blombery, Gow & Waites, unpublished observations) and rat (Setchell, 1969) is attenuated to a small oscillation, but mean blood...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of decompression fasciotomy on testes undergoing torsion of the spermatic cord. METHODS Spermatic cord torsion was induced in 40 Wistar testes for six and 12 hours. At the time of distortion, decompression fasciotomy was performed on half of the animals. After 42 days, the testicles were examined both macroscopically and microscopically. A non-parametric Mann- W...

Liposarcoma are a group of malignant tumours which are derived from mesodermal tissue [1]. These tumours can occur anywhere in the body where fatty tissue is present [1]. Almost 70% of cases are located in the extremities and the retroperitoneum [2]. The spermatic cord is a rare site for liposarcoma; around 200 cases of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord (LSC) have been reported in the English l...
