Giant scrotal lipoma in pediatric patient: A case report

Lipoma is a rare, benign mesenchymal tumor seen in the scrotum. There were few reports of scrotal lipoma cases originating from the scrotal wall in the literature. We describe a case of a huge primary intrascrotal lipoma in a 2-year-old boy, presenting as progressive scrotal swelling. Findings from scrotal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were highly suggestive of lipoma. The mass was completely excised and diagnosis of lipoma was confirmed by histological examination

One stage rotation flap scrotoplasty and orchidopexy for the correction of ectopic scrotum: A case report

Ectopic scrotum (ES) is a particularly rare congenital malformation of the scrotum and commonly associated with other congenital malformations. A 2-year-old boy was presented with ectopic scrotum, low lesion imperforate anus, spina bifida and pubic diastasis since birth. There are various surgical methods available to be discussed in the management of ES. We performed correction of the ectopic scrotum and concomitant bilateral orchidopexy in one stage of surgery. This procedure is relatively simpler to perform and gives out favorable cosmetic result. Keywords: Ectopic scrotum, One stage rotation flap, Scrotoplasty, Orchidopex

Does Varicocele Repair Improve Conventional Semen Parameters? A Meta-Analytic Study of Before-After Data

Purpose: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to study the impact of varicocele repair in the largest cohort of infertile males with clinical varicocele by including all available studies, with no language restrictions, comparing intra-person conventional semen parameters before and after the repair of varicoceles. Materials and Methods: The meta-analysis was performed according to PRISMA-P and MOOSE guidelines. A systematic search was performed in Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases. Eligible studies were selected according to the PICOS model (Population: infertile male patients with clinical varicocele; Intervention: varicocele repair; Comparison: intra-person before-after varicocele repair; Outcome: conventional semen parameters; Study type: randomized controlled trials [RCTs], observational and case-control studies). Results: Out of 1,632 screened abstracts, 351 articles (23 RCTs, 292 observational, and 36 case-control studies) were includ-ed in the quantitative analysis. The before-and-after analysis showed significant improvements in all semen parameters after varicocele repair (except sperm vitality); semen volume: standardized mean difference (SMD) 0.203, 95% CI: 0.129-0.278; p<0.001; I2=83.62%, Egger's p=0.3329; sperm concentration: SMD 1.590, 95% CI: 1.474-1.706; p<0.001; I2=97.86%, Egger's p<0.0001; total sperm count: SMD 1.824, 95% CI: 1.526-2.121; p<0.001; I2=97.88%, Egger's p=0.0063; total motile sperm count: SMD 1.643, 95% CI: 1.318-1.968; p<0.001; I2=98.65%, Egger's p=0.0003; progressive sperm motil-ity: SMD 1.845, 95% CI: 1.537%-2.153%; p<0.001; I2=98.97%, Egger's p<0.0001; total sperm motility: SMD 1.613, 95% CI 1.467%-1.759%; p<0.001; l2=97.98%, Egger's p<0.001; sperm morphology: SMD 1.066, 95% CI 0.992%-1.211%; p<0.001; I2=97.87%, Egger's p=0.1864. Conclusions: The current meta-analysis is the largest to date using paired analysis on varicocele patients. In the current meta-analysis, almost all conventional semen parameters improved significantly following varicocele repair in infertile patients with clinical varicocele
