Patient Reported Experiences With Sparing External Oblique Fascia Vs Standard Inguinal Orchiectomy (NCT06828185)
Patient Reported Experiences With Sparing ExteRnal Oblique Fascia Vs Standard Inguinal OrchiEctomy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference in patient-reported postoperative outcomes between two standard-of-care surgical techniques for radical orchiectomy (inguinal orchiectomy versus external oblique fascia sparing orchiectomy) for treatment of patients with suspected testicular malignancy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does sparing the external oblique fascia during orchiectomy reduce pain after surgery? 2. Is there a difference in narcotic consumption after surgery? 3. Is there a difference in neuropathic pain after surgery? 4. Is there a difference in complications after surgery?
