Epididymectomy

Epididymyectomy must be done in several cases:

- When a disease of the epididymis occurs. The development of pathology causes pain and inflammation in the scrotum area. The patient's examination includes a mandatory examination by a surgeon, an ultrasound of the scrotum using Doppler to identify the cause, as well as a histopathological examination of the biomaterial. If during the examination a tumor is detected or its appearance is suspected, removal of the epididymis and testicle (orchidectomy) is prescribed. In men suffering from infertility, the diagnosis excludes possible abnormalities or inguinal hernia, which may contribute to problems with conception. Treatment requires the use of special medical equipment or open surgery. This intervention is not recommended for obese men, as it is associated with an increased risk of complications. The recovery process is significantly more difficult in the postoperative period. Therefore, rehabilitation is carried out, including the use of antibiotics to prevent infection and physical therapy. After the procedure, rehabilitation requires complete exclusion of physical activity, so the patient must give up sports for several weeks. This will allow the body to recover and reduce the risk of complications. In addition, exercise can lead to the formation of a hernia. It is recommended to avoid taking hot baths or exposure to heat, as this promotes the formation of edema. As recommended, pressure on the scrotum should be avoided to reduce the likelihood of bleeding. A patient's recovery after surgery may take several months or even years. Disability is awarded only in rare cases. Data on whether epididymyectomies performed on patients using modern equipment will reduce the amount of blood loss suggests that bleeding is quite moderate. Successful wound healing and rapid recovery after epimymyectomy play an important role in optimal outcome. Prevention of complications is ensured by precise surgical technique, careful implementation of interventions and strict adherence to postoperative
