SANS is an easy and inexpensive therapeutic method with low morbidity in patients with an overactive bladder. Combination with a low-dose anticholinergic increases the success rate without causing any significant side-effects.
Objectives : The aim of the present study was to assess and compare pre-and postoperative scrotal pain in patients with varicocele who underwent varicocelectomy with different approaches. Methods : The study included 144 consecutive patients with left-sided varicocele who had left scrotal pain for more than 3 months. All patients underwent varicocele ligation using either a subinguinal or inguinal approach with or without external spermatic vein ligation. We asked the patients to complete an 'Assesment Questionnaire for Scrotal Pain' both before and after the surgery.
Overall discrepancy between radiographic and pathologic tumor sizes was 1 mm. No significant stage shift due to measurement error was detected. Our findings suggest that CT is an accurate method with which to estimate renal tumor size preoperatively.
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.
