1/3. Intratesticular varicocele treated with percutaneous embolization.Intratesticular varicocele is an extremely rare and a relatively new clinical entity. A 22-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with left testicular pain. On physical examination, a grade III varicocele was noted on the left side, and the testis was soft as well. Gray-scale ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound examinations revealed intratesticular and extratesticular varicocele. Testicular venography failed to demonstrate the testicular vein. Percutaneous embolization was performed through direct puncture to the dilated veins. Percutaneous embolization under local anesthesia is an alternative treatment to other techniques.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = physical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Liquid crystal thermography of the testicles in the diagnosis of infertility.The use of liquid crystal thermography (LCT) of the testicles in diagnosis of infertility was investigated. varicocele, the most common cause of male infertility, is easily detectable by LCT. The technique may be used as a control after surgical treatment. In the majority of patients with oligo-azoospermia, LCT corresponded to physical examination of the testicles. In patients with oligo-azoospermia and both testicles normal to palpation, LCT is useful method for determining the colder testicle for biopsy purposes.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = physical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Case report: varicocele or cirsocele.A man with a left varicocele and the physical finding of deep and superficial scrotal varicosities is described. The recurrence of these veins after high retroperitoneal ligation was the first indication of recollateralization. A review of the early literature reveals that varicocele refers to the varices of the scrotum and cirsocele (earlier term to denote the physical finding of scrotal varicosities) applies to the varices of the testicle and cord. It appears that these may be the same.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = physical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
