Irreversible damage of the nerves and vas musculature due to mesh migration is one of the mechanisms for sexual pain and dysejaculation. Attempts at all cost to preserve elements of the spermatic cord may not be justified in cases of severe pain, especially sexual pain (and/or dysejaculation) and intraoperative finding of cord involvement by the mesh. Vasectomy with mesh removal may well be indicated and be considered not a radical procedure but a conservative measure given the severity of the pain!
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.
