Figure 1 Key features of partial orchiectomy. A, using inguinal approach with early vascular control with Penrose drain as temporary tourniquet mass is isolated with or without ultrasound. Incision is made in tunica albuginea, allowing around 5 mm normal parenchyma around the mass. B, tumor with margin is excised en bloc. Macroscopic margin (inset) is confirmed before immediate frozen section examination. C, testicle may now be repaired with tunica albuginea carefully sutured with meticulous hemostasis. Testis is returned to scrotum or completion radical orchiectomy is done after frozen section examination result is known.
