Spinal Hernia Repair and Cauda Equina Repositioning After Lumbar Decompression under Three-Dimensional Microscopy: A Case Report and Literature Review

Dural hernia following spinal endoscopic surgery is a rare complication. Here, we report a case of nerve root hernia associated with the absence of dural repair, prolonged operation time, and increased abdominal pressure due to postoperative constipation. Early dural tear repair and monitoring postoperative constipation can help prevent cauda equina...

Microscopic Varicocelectomy under Local Anesthesia as the Treatment of Varicocele

Varicocele accounts for 35%-40% of infertility cases among men of reproductive age. The international standard treatment method is microscopic varicocelectomy, typically performed under general anesthesia. This study proposes and implements microscopic varicocelectomy under local anesthesia, which provides more humane care for patients and reduces the economic...

Fluorimetric Techniques for the Assessment of Sperm Membranes

Here, we present methodologies to evaluate spermatozoan membrane integrity, a cellular feature associated with sperm fertilization competence. We describe three techniques for the fluorimetric assessment of sperm membranes: simultaneous staining with specific fluorescent probes, fluorescence microscopy, and advanced sperm-dedicated flow cytometry. Examples of combining the methodologies are also...
