ABSTRACT
A high undescended testis is one of the major problems that face a urologist and transection of the spermatic vessels may solve the problem in bringing down the testis. Spermatic vessel transection was done on 21 cat testicles. Gross examination and biopsy was done, pre-transection followed by gross examination and orchiectomy 7 days post transection. Results revealed a decrease in size, 18/21 (85%) showed atrophy of the testis, change in color formation from pink to gray in 16/21 (76%) and 21/21 (100%) change in consistency from doughy to soft. Microscopic findings noted a significant decrease in the number of vessels in the interstitium, spermatogenic activity and germ cell content. There was no statistically significant change noted on the Leydig cell population (p0.05). Close observation and follow-up is warranted if this operation is done in humans because, according to the study, significant changes occur in the testis after transection of the spermatic vessels.
