- Abstract
Permanent ischemia-induced testicular damage may occur as early as 30 min in prepupertal rats. With the goal of potentially enhancing testicular function and fertility preservation, we performed testis-sparing surgery (TSS) without ischemia for testicular lesions in select children with negative markers and high likelihood of benignity on ultrasonography. Preliminary experience suggests that off-clamp TSS should be more liberally encouraged, especially in infants and prepubertal children, given their particularly vulnerable spermatic cord elements.
