Dr. Towfigh – Neurectomy
Hi Doctor, last question I promise :p I’ve been doing so much research about the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve that this question is bugging me. When urologists perform a radical orchiectomy, they go up high up in the inguinal canal and cut the entire spermatic cord and remove the cord along with the testicle. Since the genital nerve runs in the cord, wouldn’t that nerve have to be cut since they are removing the entire spermatic cord? I don’t see how they could preserve it if the whole cord is being removed, and that nerve runs in the cord.
Thanks for humoring me on this one 🙂
