Clinical InformationClinical
Spermatic Cord
either of a pair of tubular structures formed by ductus deferens; arteries; veins; lymphatic vessels; and nerves. the spermatic cord extends from the deep inguinal ring through the inguinal canal to the testis in the scrotum.Spermatic Cord Torsion
the twisting of the spermatic cord due to an anatomical abnormality that left the testis mobile and dangling in the scrotum. the initial effect of testicular torsion is obstruction of venous return. depending on the duration and degree of cord rotation, testicular symptoms range from edema to interrupted arterial flow and testicular pain. if blood flow to testis is absent for 4 to 6 h, spermatogenesis may be permanently lost.Sterilization Reversal
procedures to reverse the effect of reproductive sterilization and to regain fertility. reversal procedures include those used to restore the flow in the fallopian tube or the vas deferens.Vas Deferens
the excretory duct of the testes that carries spermatozoa. it rises from the scrotum and joins the seminal vesicles to form the ejaculatory duct.

Patient EducationClinical
Benign Tumors
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
