1599 Peri- and Postoperative Complications of 215 Cases of Inguinal Hernia in Children
2012
Background The cure of inguinal hernia in children consists of high ligation of hernial sac, generally evolving with few complications. Aim The evaluation of casuistry structure and evaluation of peri- and postoperative complications in children. Method Retrospective analytical study for a period of three years includes case studies which required high ligation of the hernia sac (procesus vaginalis). Results The 214 cases were stratified according to: Location: left side 29 hernias (13.5%); bilateral 4 (1.8%); right side 181 (84.5%) cases; Age: 1–3 years, 70 (32.7%); 4–6 years, 71 (33.1%); 7–12 years, 62 (28.9%); 13–18 years, 11 cases (5.1%); During hospitalization: ≤ 3 days, 65 (30.3%); 4–…
Die Leydigschen Zwischenzellen im Funiculus spermaticus des Menschen
1955
Innerhalb und an manchen Nervenstammchen des Funiculus spermaticus des Menschen konnten bei 13 untersuchten erwachsenen Mannern regelmasig beiderseitig in wechselnder Ausbildung Leydigsche Zwischenzellen aufgefunden werden. Sie liegen vorwiegend 4–7 cm uber den Hoden und zeigen jeweils alle charakteristischen Merkmale der Zwischenzellen des dazugehorigen Hodens. Eine authochtone Entstehung dieser Zellen aus dem ortlichen Bindegewebe oder aus den Schwannschen Zellen der Nerven wird ebenso wie eine Gleichsetzung dieser Zellkomplexe mit akzessorischem Nebennierenrindengewebe abgelehnt. Ein Vergleich mit den Lageverhaltnissen bei Feten last vermuten, das die Zellgruppen dem Hoden entstammen und…
Safety and efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the management of spermatic cord sarcoma.
2017
International audience; Purpose. - Spermatic cord sarcoma is a rare disease, which management remains controversial due to the lack of guidelines. The standard therapeutic approach is surgical: wide soft-tissue resection with radical inguinal orchidectomy, The diagnosis is made during the analysis of the specimen. The high rate of local recurrence indicates adjuvant radiotherapy of the tumor bed. The aim of this series is to determine the efficacy and safety of postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy for spermatic cord sarcomas. Patients and methods. - Our series included five consecutive cases of spermatic cord sarcoma treated between 2011 and 2014. The indications for radiotherapy …
Experimental Testicular Torsion: Effect on Endocrine and Exocrine Function and Contralateral Testicular Histology
1988
In order to investigate whether unilateral testicular torsion exerts a negative influence on the previously undisturbed contralateral side, exocrine and endocrine testicular function were evaluated before and two months after torsion. A rat model with 6 hours', 12 hours' or permanent extravaginal 540 degrees torsion of the right testis was used; a sham operated group of animals served as controls. Ejaculates were collected by electrostimulation; LH, FSH and testosterone serum levels were determined by radioimmunoassays. Eight weeks after torsion sperm output had decreased by half in the experimental groups, and LH levels increased significantly, whereas the other hormone levels, as well as …
Myxoid liposarcoma of the spermatic cord: US and MR imaging findings.
2013
We report a patient with myxoid liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in whom combined use of both ultrasound (US) and MRI helped to suggest the diagnosis. The lesion was solid at US and vascularized at color Doppler. T1-weighted MRI did not show fat within it; on T2-weighted images it had high signal intensity, with a cyst-like appearance. It is known that fat-poor myxoid liposarcomas with high water content may mimic a cystic lesion on non-contrast-enhanced MR; then, a combination of MRI findings, suggesting a cyst, and of US findings, showing the mass was actually solid and vascularized, allowed preoperatively the diagnosis of fat-poor myxoid liposarcoma. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Hemodynamic effects of experimental testicular torsion.
1987
Experimental testicular torsion must be used for certain studies of clinical relevance, but most experimental models either do not provide hemodynamic alteration comparable to the clinical situation or cannot guarantee reproducibility. Using a rat model arterial perfusion and hemorrhagic infarction were correlated to the degree of both intra- and extravaginal testicular torsion. Arterial inflow was measured sequentially with radiolabelled microspheres, hemorrhagic infarction was judged by the increase of testicular weight. Maximal hemorrhagic infarction and reproducible values were found when the spermatic cord was twisted together with the tunica vaginalis for 360 degrees-540 degrees.
