Summary

Childhood inguinal hernioplasty can cause spermatic cord injuries leading to testicular atrophy and infertility. Successful reconstructive surgery, including vasal reconstruction and vaso-epididymostomy, restored satisfactory semen parameters in a patient.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Childhood inguinal hernioplasty is a common procedure.
  • Spermatic cord injuries during surgery can lead to significant reproductive complications.

Observation:

  • A patient experienced unilateral testicular atrophy, bilateral excurrent duct obstruction, and aspermia following childhood inguinal hernioplasty.
  • The injury was attributed to iatrogenic damage to the spermatic cord.

Findings:

  • Simultaneous unilateral vasal reconstruction and vaso-epididymostomy were performed.
  • Post-operative assessment revealed satisfactory semen parameters, indicating successful restoration of reproductive function.

Implications:

  • Vasal reconstruction and vaso-epididymostomy can be effective in managing spermatic cord injury complications.
  • Maintaining vascular supply to the excurrent duct is crucial for preserving vasal integrity after multiple reconstructive procedures.
