Prep:
1) Verify both testes are present in the scrotum
Incising:
1) Apply pressure on the scrotum to advance one testicle into pre-scrotal area
2) Incise skin and subcutaneous tissue along the median raphe over ventral midline of testicle. Length of
this incision is as long as testicle.
3) Continue the incision through the spermatic fascia to exteriorize the testicle. You will then see the
white parietal tunic.
4) Using pressure deep to the testicle – pop the testicle out of the incision using fingers.
5) The scrotal ligament is disrupted at the caudal aspect of the testicle using a gauze sponge.
6) Tearing the ligament facilitate spasm of the vessels and minimizes the risk of scrotal hematoma
formation after surgery.
7) Adipose tissue is cleaned off the spermatic cord & remaining adipose is pushed up toward testicle.
9) Using Metzenbams, place into the incision & extend over spermatic cord & down to the body wall.
4) Advance second testicle into incision, incise fascial covering & move testicle into incision. Repeat 1-3.
Orchiectomy (3)
Closing:
1) Subcutaneous – 3-0 PDS, deep or buried knot. (3 separate
think layers of fascia – far, middle, & near)
a. First bite is deep to superficial – second bite is
superficial to deep.
b. Tie knot in a parallel fashion to the incision (allow knot to
seat deeper). 4 throws.
c. Cut suture ends 2 mm long – SQ is continued using
continuous pattern taking bites into all 3 layers of SQ.
d. BE CAREFUL not to take too deep of a bite in the
central portion because the urethra lies deep to
this area.
3) Appose the incised dense fascia on either side of the penis with interrupted or cutaneous sutures.
4) Close subcutaneous tissues with a continuous pattern
5) Appose skin with an intradermal, subcuticular or simple interrupted suture pattern.
