“…In general, the testis mainly receives its blood supply from the testicular artery which is essential for the efficient functioning of the testis (Mostafa et al, 2008). In the present study we reported unusual arteries of the supply for the testis, the bilateral deferential arteries with winding course are the main blood supply to the testis.…”

ZHENG, Y.; YUAN, Q.; HE, X. & LEI, Y.A rare variation of the testicular blood supply by the deferential artery. Int. J. Morphol., 34(3):950-952, 2016. SUMMARY:Any compression of testicular arteries may lead to loss of spermatogenesis and gonadal hormone production, existence of the variational arteries is accountable in cases of vasoligation, orchidopexy and other surgical approach on them. Anomalies of the testicular blood arteries were observed during dissection of the pelvic cavity in a 68-year-old male cadaver. This report describes a very rare case of lack of testicular arteries. For the blood supply to the testis, thick deferential arteries form some vascular winding and loops and course accompanied by deferent duct to the testis. This case report would serve as ray of light for knowledge of the possible variations of the testicular arteries during surgical procedures.

“…The effect of artery preserving VL is still controversial since the testicles receive the arterial supply mainly from the testicular artery, supplemented by the cremasteric and vasal arteries. 10 Matsuda et al prospectively evaluated the fertility effects of testicular artery ligation in open VL cases (table 5). 11 They found no significant difference between testicular artery preservation and ligation VL in semen quality or postoperative pregnancy rates.…”

Bilateral spermatic cord en bloc ligation by laparoendoscopic single-site surgery: preliminary experience compared to conventional laparoscopy

et al. 2014

BackgroundLaparo Endoscopic Single-site Surgery (LESS) represents an evolution of minimally invasive surgery and aims to improve cosmetic outcome and reduce surgical trauma and complications associated with traditional laparoscopy. This study was performed to present our preliminary experience in bilateral spermatic cord ligation with the LESS technique and compare the results with the outcomes of conventional laparoscopic surgery.MethodsBetween June 2007 and May 2013, 24 patients were referred to our institute for bilateral varicocelectomy. The indications for this type of procedure were bilateral varicocele with impairment of semen parameters or chronic bilateral testicular pain. All procedures were performed via the same surgeon. The patients were divided into two groups according to the type of laparoscopic surgery. Group A included 10 patients underwent LESS technique while group B included the remaining 14 patients that underwent conventional laparoscopy.ResultsThe comparison between the two techniques showed some important advantages for LESS: shorter operating time (45.4 min vs. 88.3 (P < .001), shorter hospital stay (16.6 hours vs. 51.4 hours) (P < .001), early return to the normal activity (2.3 days vs. 4.7 days) and better cosmetic outcomes. No conversions from LESS to conventional laparoscopy were necessary and blood loss was insignificant in all patients.All patients in the LESS group reported full satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome, whereas 85.7% of patients after conventional laparoscopy were fully satisfied with cosmesis.ConclusionsBilateral spermatic cord ligation with LESS is an alternative to conventional laparoscopy. The procedure was successfully performed in all patients. The trans-umbilical approach offers the advantage of a better cosmetic result, shorter hospital stay and less postoperative pain.
