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 is the length of spermatic cord?
7cm
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.
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.
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.
What is the disorder that involves the twisting of the spermatic cord?
Testicular torsion
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.
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.
What is a pouch that holds the testes and parts of the spermatic cord?
It is called the "Scrotum".
What is the medical term meaning dilation of the veins of the spermatic cord?
varicocele
Cord extends upward from the epididymis and is attached to each testicle?
spermatic
The cord extends upward from the epididymis and is attached to each testicle?
spermatic
The is a pouch that holds the testes and parts of the spermatic cord Its muscular activity regulates the temperature of the testes?
The scrotum is a pouch that holds the testes and parts of the spermatic cord. Its muscular activity regulates the temperature of the testes.
