ABSTRACT
We discuss the clinical presentation and course of the disease of a 25-year-old male who had gastrointestinal (GIT) symptoms secondary to retroperitoneal lymph node proliferation of a germ-cell tumour of the testis. The pathology evaluation of the orchiectomy specimen classified it as a burned-out tumour of the testis, given the lack of tumour elements and the presence of typical scarring tissue. Biological is-sues leading to tumour regression are discussed, as well.

Los autores presentan los fundamentos anatomoquirúrgicos que permiten desarrollar una técnica original de corrección de la hernia crural por vía crural. Se trata de una reparación en dos planos mediante la superposición de colgajo aponeurótico de oblicuo mayor y rotación de colgajo continuo de fascia pectínea, llevados al ligamento de Cooper. De la rotación de la fascia pectínea surge la reconstrucción de la pared anterior del canal inguinal. Se presenta una serie de 11 reparaciones realizadas con anestesia local potenciada. Se concluye que es una técnica original derivada de la clásica operación de Battle, fácil, rápida y efectiva, aplicable sea de coordinación como de urgencia
