The left spermatic cord is generally longer than the right due to the anatomical positioning of the testicles. The left testicle typically descends lower into the scrotum than the right, which necessitates a longer spermatic cord to accommodate this difference. Additionally, variations in the length of the spermatic cord can be influenced by factors such as individual anatomy and developmental differences. This asymmetry is normal and usually does not affect fertility or function.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the inguinal orchiectomy called a radical orchiectomy?
It is called a radical orchiectomy because the surgeon removes the entire spermatic cord as well as the testicle itself.
If given the length of arc and the radius how do you figure the straight line cord?
The radius is a cord, is it not?
How do you find radius of a circle if cord length is given?
The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its radius.
How can I calculate cord length using arc length and radius?
r = known radius x = known arc length --------------------------- C (circumference of circle) = 2 * PI * r A (angle of chord in degrees) = x / C * 360 L (length of chord) = r * sin(A/2) * 2
What is line?
Line can go forever. It is always straight
What structures compose spermatic cord?
The spermatic cord is found only in males. The spermatic cord is composed of the vas deferens which run from each testicle.
What is the length of spermatic cord?
The length of the spermatic cord varies, but on average it is about 10 to 15 centimeters long. It extends from the abdominal cavity through the inguinal canal to the testes and contains blood vessels, nerves, and the duct that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra.
Where is the spermatic chord located?
The spermatic cord is a group of fibers and tissues that form part of the male reproductive system. The spermatic cord is located in the abdominal region and extends to the testicles.
Which structure is not found in the scrotum?
The liver is not found in the scrotum. The scrotum houses the testicles, epididymis, and spermatic cord.
What holds the testicle in place?
Though the scrotum encloses the testes and protects them, what actually holds them in place is a a single bundle of tissues called the spermatic cord. Each testis then receives its blood supply through the spermatic cord.
Why is the entire spermatic cord and the testicle removed during an inguinal orchiectomy?
The reason for this complete removal is that testicular cancers frequently spread from the spermatic cord into the lymph nodes near the kidneys.
Why is a non-absorbable suture left in the stump of the spermatic cord in an inguinal orchiectomy?
A long non-absorbable suture is left in the stump of the spermatic cord in case later surgery is necessary.
What carries sperm out of the scrotum and is part of the spermatic cord?
The vas deferens carries sperm out of the scrotum and is part of the spermatic cord. It is a muscular tube that transports sperm from the epididymis to the urethra during ejaculation.
What is a pouch that holds the testes and parts of the spermatic cord?
It is called the "Scrotum".
The cord extends upward from the epididymis and is attached to each testicle?
spermatic
Cord extends upward from the epididymis and is attached to each testicle?
spermatic
What is the medical term meaning dilation of the veins of the spermatic cord?
varicocele
