Although remotely, there is a possibility of malignant degeneration of these testicles, so that surgical exploration and excision of the supernumerary testicles when their biopsy is doubtful in terms of dysplasia or if they present carcinoma in situ or they are a source of pain.
Graft augmentation for repair of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse is commonly used in reconstructive pelvic surgery. The reported complications are mainly late onset. We report a case of early-onset inflammatory reaction following bovine pericardium graft augmentation for posterior vaginal wall defect repair. A 49-year-old presented with a recurrent and symptomatic posterior vaginal wall defect. She underwent an uneventful site-specific repair and bovine graft augmentation. Her early postoperative course was complicated by inflammatory response to the graft presenting as intense pelvic floor spasm and urinary retention. The condition was managed conservatively and resolved subsequently. One year later, the patient continues to be asymptomatic. Transient intense pelvic floor spasm and urinary retention can be the result of inflammatory reaction following graft augmentation with bovine pericardium for posterior vaginal wall defect repair.
Testicular secondary metastatic tumors account for less than 1% of old testicular tumors. In patients in the fifth and sixth decades, mainly if they are affected by other neoplasias, testicular masses use to be metastatic implants. The most frequent origin is prostate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
