Popis: | Benign extratestinal lesions, including spermatic cord lipomas, are often incidental findings on palpation of the scrotum. There are frequent cases of detection of lipomas both when performing hernioplasty of inguinal hernias, and during other surgical interventions in the inguinal canal or in the scrotum. Lipomas of the spermatic cord can accompany the hernia of the inguinal canal, and in some cases, and proceed independently.Some authors have described cases of erroneous diagnosis of huge extratesticular lipomas as inguinal hernias, while suggesting that the lipoma of the spermatic cord be recognized as an important clinical unit necessary in conducting a thorough urological differential diagnosis in order to avoid unnecessary hernioplasty. It is not always easy to determine the correct tactical and technical techniques, their sequence, adequacy for each specific case. This is due to the limited time for decision-making and the high emotional burden that the doctor bears when examining and deciding treatment tactics at the time of surgery. This fact prompted us to share our clinical observations and suggest step-by-step surgical tactics that we use. |
