Digital Blunt Dissection Technique to Assist Laparoscopic Gonadectomy in Inguinally Located/Adhered Gonads

Abstract: Laparoscopic gonadal removal in two patients, one with XY gonadal dysgenesis and the other with complete androgen insensitivity is described. In both cases, the gonads were either located deep in the inguinal canal or adherent in that area. Digital blunt dissection using a finger passed through the lateral lower abdominal trocar incision site (12 mm) at the mid-clavicular line of the lower abdomen, combined with external palpation/elevation of the inguinal ring, allowed rapid dissection and isolation of the de… Show more

“…As a novel approach to management, the laparoscopic removal of testes has been recently reported. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Although it is relatively easy for an accomplished laparoscopist to perform laparoscopic gonadectomy, expensive laparoscopic instruments and the use of disposable stapling devices are sometimes required for the intracorporeal techniques. Another problem is that three or four puncture sites are necessary for standard laparoscopic surgery.…”
