Our objective is to present a technique for obtaining spermatozoa from testicles with ex vivo tumours in order to preserve fertility in these patients. A 34-year-old patient was referred for azoospermia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Soft Tissue Mass

  In a total of 4741 orchiectomy specimens, 138 orchiectomies were performed for primary neoplastic or nonneoplastic masses of the PT soft tissue or had an incidental PT soft-tissue mass. Of these, 65.9% were neoplastic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Internal Bleeding

  Internal bleeding in patients undergoing orchiectomy for a malignant testicular tumor can cause a dissecting hematoma in the retroperitoneum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dirofilaria Immitis

  The fourth case of zoonotic Dirofilaria immitis infection in a California resident is reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A subcapsular orchiectomy is also commonly performed for treatment of prostate cancer. [en.wikipedia.org]

INTRODUCTION: Orchiectomy followed by infradiaphragmatic radiotherapy is a common treatment for stage I-II testicular seminoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There are, nonetheless, numerous treatment options to address the condition, including watchful waiting, surgery, radiation therapy, cryotherapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, vaccine treatment, and bone-directed treatment. [prostatecancernewstoday.com]

Scrotal violation alone, without tumor contamination, does not impart a worse prognosis in patients with testicular cancer. In the absence of gross tumor spillage, close observation alone may be adequate management for scrotal violation. [emedicine.medscape.com]

CONCLUSION: Most of the patients with TSCST had a favorable prognosis. Testis-sparing surgery may be feasible and effective in case of small tumors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All members of the health care team should know the expected prognosis and be prepared to answer the patient's questions truthfully and matter-of-factly. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

The etiology of these includes synchronous primary testicular masses, lymphoma, leukemia, and adrenocortical rest hyperplasia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is important to consider meconium periorchitis as one of the etiologies, thereby avoiding unnecessary orchidectomies. No References No Citations No Supplementary Data No Article Media No Metrics [ingentaconnect.com]

This case illustrates that D. immitis infections can complicate differential diagnosis of extrapulmonary lesions and suggests that the public health significance of this vector-borne filarial worm needs to be evaluated through appropriate epidemiological [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention and early recognition of this complication are crucial if unnecessary treatment is to be avoided. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This prevents any "shedding" of tumor cells when the testicle is manipulated. The testicle can then be "delivered" from the scrotum. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

The testicle is then pulled up through the inguinal canal, the spermatic cord is clamped off in two places to prevent blood loss and then cut between the clamps. [tssurgeryguide.com]

Orchiectomy is recommended for patients who have extenuating employment or relationship circumstances which prevent GCS ( Vaginoplasty ). It is also recommended for patients with health problems preventing CHT (also known as HRT) or full GCS. [drchristinemcginn.com]

Removing the testicle(s) prevents the cancer from spreading from the spermatic cord to the lymph nodes. [urologists.org]
