vPROCEDURE PERFORMED: Right scrotal exploration, and right spermatocelectomy DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: After satisfactory general anesthesia, the patient was prepped and draped in a supine position. An incision was made in the midline of the scrotum vertically. The right testis was exposed and delivered from the incision. This was done within the sac of the spermatocele. Spermatocele was identified, being adherent to the right epididymis. There was significant adherence and numerous small blood vessels present and adherence of the spermatocele sac to both the testis and the epididymis. Dissection was done sharply. The sac was excised, sent to histology. Care was taken to preserve the blood supply to the right testis. The small bleeding points were cauterized or suture ligated. Hemostasis was also directed towards the scrotal wall. Again, these were controlled by fulguration or suture ligature. The testis was placed back into its anatomic position on the right scrotal sac.
