RESUMO
【Objective】 To compare the degree, efficacy and safety of testicular catch-up growth after inguinal and subinguinal surgery for adolescent varicocele. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 121 adolescent varicocele patients with secondary testicular atrophy treated during Sep.2014 and Jun.2021 at Huili People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 40 cases treated with the inguinal incision approach, and 81 with the subinguinal approach. The characteristics of intraoperative, efficacy, surgical complications and prognosis were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The inguinal group had significantly shorter microscope usage time (P=0.006), fewer number of preserved internal spermatic arteries (P0.05). Two years after surgery, the bilateral testicular volume of both groups was significantly larger than that before surgery (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 In the treatment of adolescent varicocele patients with secondary testicular atrophy, the subinguinal approach significantly reduces the difficulty of microsurgical varicocele ligation, and has good efficacy and safety, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the application of inguinal incision in retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy(LNU)in the treatment of upper urinary urothelial carcinoma(UUUC).Methods From Mar.2007 to Jan.2012,186 retroperitoneal LNU procedures on 115 males and 71 females for the treatment of UUUC were performed in our institute.All cases were grouped as inguinal incision group(n =112)and lumbar incision group(n =74)according to specimen retrieval incision.Operative time,estimated blood loss,postoperative analgesia,hospital stay,incision complications,cosmetic satisfaction and tumor recurrence were compared between the 2 groups.Results All the 186 cases of operation were successfully accomplished.There were no differences in tumor stage,tumor grade,mean operative time,blood loss between the 2 groups.In inguinal incision group,the incidence of incision fat liquefaction,incision hernia,incision bulging,lumboabdominal unsymmetry and postoperative analgesia was less than that of lumbar incision group.In inguinal incision group,the mean hospital stay was shorter,cosmetic satisfaction(Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Ⅲ)was better(7/24/81 versus 22/18/34,P ＜ 0.01).Recurrence rate of UUUC in middle and inferior segment of ureter was fewer than that of lumbar incision group(5.3％ versus 35.0％,P ＜0.01).Conclusion Retroperitoneal LNU for UUUC combined with inguinal incision offers advantage of less trauma,less complications,higher cosmetic satisfaction and lower tumor recurrence.
