Testicle12
- The spermatic cord is the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens (ductus deferens) and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. (wikipedia.org)
- The spermatic cord is sensitive to torsion, in which the testicle rotates within its sac and blocks its own blood supply. (wikipedia.org)
- After initial recovery, he develops pain and feeling of tugging sensation of the left spermatic cord and testicle. (sages.org)
- Therefore, administration of local anesthetic to the spermatic cord itself, while establishing anesthesia of the testicle and epididymis, does not establish anesthesia of the overlying skin. (medscape.com)
- A spermatic cord block is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed to provide anesthesia to the testicle and epididymis. (medscape.com)

- Each testicle is connected to the rest of the body by a blood vessel called the spermatic cord. (kidshealth.org)
- Testicular torsion happens when a spermatic cord becomes twisted, cutting off the flow of blood to the attached testicle. (kidshealth.org)
- Saving the testicle becomes more difficult the longer the spermatic cord stays twisted. (kidshealth.org)
- Testicular torsion is a serious medical condition that occurs when the spermatic cord twists, like a candy cane, and cuts off the blood supply to the testicle. (medicalnewstoday.com)

- Funiculitis, an inflammation of cord structures, may cause inguinal or scrotal pain, but the testis is normal. (aafp.org)
- The free-floating testis is more likely to twist on its cord and strangulate its blood supply through intra-vaginal torsion. (aafp.org)
- In this disorder, incomplete attachment of the gubernaculum and testicular tunics to dartos fascia causes the cord to twist above the level of the testis and tunica vaginalis. (aafp.org)

Torsion of the spermatic cord3
- Ultrasound should be used primarily for ruling out torsion of the spermatic cord in cases of acute, unilateral, painful scrotal swelling. (cdc.gov)
- Ultrasound should be reserved for men if torsion of the spermatic cord is suspected or for those with scrotal pain who cannot receive an accurate diagnosis by history, physical examination, and objective laboratory findings. (cdc.gov)
- Epididymitis is often difficult to differentiate from torsion of the spermatic cord. (health.am)
Deferens5

- The spermatic cord is the 'stalk' of the testicles that contains blood vessels and vas deferens. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- The testicles are then squeezed out and the spermatic cords (vas deferens) are either severed or simply torn off. (peta.org)
Testicles2

(bvsalud.org)
Nerves1
- It is at this site that an anesthetic nerve blockade is best approached, as the nerves are relatively superficial to the skin as they run through the spermatic cord. (medscape.com)
Postoperative2
- Hypothesis: Retroperitoneal mesh placement may cause postoperative symptoms affecting the spermatic cord, due to mesh-related adhesions. (sages.org)

(medscape.com)
Abdomen1
- The pain may be localized or may radiate along the spermatic cord into the lower abdomen. (aafp.org)
Ultrasound1
- However, because partial spermatic cord torsion can mimic epididymitis on scrotal ultrasound, differentiation between spermatic cord torsion and epididymitis when torsion is not ruled out by ultrasound should be made on the basis of clinical evaluation. (cdc.gov)
Hernia4
- Conclusions: When performing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with mesh, there is an overlap of mesh with the retroperitoneal spermatic cord. (sages.org)
- As noted above, a fatty protrusion of preperitoneal fat termed a "lipoma of the spermatic cord" is a common finding on groin exploration for hernia repair. (medscape.com)
