Objective: To compare the surgical outcomes and complications between laparoscopic Doppler ultrasound assisted laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LDU-LV) and conventional LV for infertile patients with varicoceles. To examine the microanatomy of the spermatic cord within suprainguinal portion. Methods: One hundred and forty-seven infertile patients with varicoceles were randomly divided into LDU-LV ...

The aim of the study was the electrophoretical identification of molecular forms of selected antioxidant enzymes in dog semen. Ejaculates to be studied were chosen from five dogs, aged from two to eight years. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was carried out under non-denaturing conditions and then gels were stained for the activity of the following enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catala...

Duplication of the vas deferens is a rare anomaly, defined as the presence of two distinct vasa deferentia within one spermatic cord, with only 28 cases reported worldwide since 1959. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a duplicate vas deferens, presenting with abdominal pain from bowel obstruction secondary to incarcerated inguinal hernia. Spermatic cord dissection during hernioplasty...

Few cases of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord have been reported in the literature. This rare tumor represents 7% of malignant tumors of the spermatic cord. We report a case of an unusual liposarcoma of the spermatic cord, with respect to its sclerosing variant, occurring in a healthy looking 42 years old man. A wide local excision of the tumor was performed. Adjuvant radiotherapy may sometime...

A 62-year-old man was presented with a firm mass in right scrotum. Serum LDH and AFP were within normal range, but hCG-beta was elevated (2.3 ng/ml). Under the diagnosis of right testicular tumor, he underwent right radical orchiectomy. The specimen was a spermatic cord tumor with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. hCG-beta was still elevated postoperatively and gastric fiber revealed adenoc...

Inguinal orchiopexy is a common operation performed for undescended testis. Several surgical techniques have been described to mobilize the spermatic cord and optimize the position of the testis in the scrotum. We demonstrate a novel adjunct surgical maneuver which includes stripping the distal peritoneal investments of the spermatic cord to achieve additional length in cases when dependent scr...

Ectopic adrenocortical tissue (EAT) along the spermatic cord is an unusual condition in children. The author reports on a 2-year-old boy with impalpable testis. On laparoscopy, EAT was detected along the hypotrophic spermatic vessels and excised. These remnants should be removed to prevent hormone production or malignant transformation.

An extratesticular scrotal epidermoid cyst is a relatively very rare condition, and an epidermoid cyst arising from the spermatic cord area is extremely rare. We report a case of multiple epidermoid cysts arising from the extratesticular scrotum, spermatic cord, and lower extremities. To our best knowledge, concomitant occurrence of these lesions has not been reported previously in the literature.

conclusions preoperative diagnosis of spermatic cord leiomyosarcma is difficult and commonly made by histological examination and immunochemical staining. case presentation here we reported a 75-year-old man who presented with a painless lump in the right hemiscrotum. a right radical orchiectomy was performed. histopathology confirmed a neoplastic tissue with mesenchymal origin in spermatic cor...

I am Dr Qing-Li Liu, from the Department of Urology of the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, China. I write to present a case report of spermatic cord angiofibrolipoma. Angiofibrolipoma is a histological variant of lipoma, which usually presents as a solitary, subcutaneous, circumscribed lesion in the back, neck or shoulders. Here, we report a case of angiofibrolipom...
