- Abstract
Unexpected Finding During microsurgery and Potential Risk of Sperm Damage: Intrascrotal Calculi: A Retrospective Analysis Intrascrotal calculi are considered to originate from fibrin, meconium or inflammatory crystal deposits, which are similar to urolithiasis but with an uncertain relationship.[1] Some have reported that intrascrotal calculi are small yellow particles, small chips or larger shapes.2-4 Most of them were irregular, and only some were round pearls.[5] Their main components are carbonate or phosphate.[6] Some studies have found that these intrascrotal calculi lead to a decline in sperm parameters.[7],[8] Other studies also revealed that these interesting things were closely related to testicular tumors.[9] However, due to the low incidence of intrascrotal calculi and the lack of relevant literature, the impact of intrascrotal calculi on sperm is unclear. The lymphocytes and leukocytes of patients with calculi were closely related to the occurrence of calculi, which also proved our judgment.
