摘要
目的:显微镜下精索去神经术是一种用于治疗难治性睾丸痛的治疗方式。有研究证实,精索相关神经纤维脱髓鞘是慢性睾丸痛(CO)的可能原因。方法:回顾性分析2014年8月~2018年2月我院28例行显微镜下精索去神经术患者的临床资料。入选标准为慢性睾丸疼痛持续3个月以上,保守治疗失败,神经和泌尿系统检查无阳性发现,且局部麻醉精索后疼痛暂时缓解,最终行显微镜下精索去神经手术。采用主观视觉模拟评分法(VAS)评估术前和术后疼痛,并使用客观标准化和验证的疼痛影响问卷-6(PIQ-6)分数。结果:成功随访28例患者,随访1年25例(89.3%)VAS提示疼痛显著减轻,其中15例(53.6%)疼痛完全缓解;3例(10.7%)无显著疼痛改变。PIQ-6评分显示,随访3个月19例(67.9%)患者有效疼痛缓解;术后6个月22例(78.6%)患者有效疼痛缓解,术后1年、2年均为23例(82.1%)患者有效疼痛缓解。结论:显微镜下精索去神经手术治疗是一种有效地治疗难治性CO的微创方法。
Objective: Microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord is a treatment option for chronic orchialgia refractory to conservative treatment. A recent study showed specific nerve fibers as the possible cause of chronic orchialgia. Our goal was to present the outcomes of ligation of these nerves using a technique of targeted microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord. Method: We retrospectively reviewed 28 cases who underwent targeted microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord from August 2014 to February 2018. Selection criteria were chronic testicular pain more than 3 months in duration, failed conservative treatments, negative neurological and urological workup, and temporary resolution of pain with a local anesthetic spermatic cord block. Targeted microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord was performed. Pain was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using a subjective visual analog scale and objectively with the standardized and validated Pain Impact Questionnaire-6(PIQ-6) score. Result: Follow-up data were available on 28 cases. During a median follow-up period of 12(range, 10-29) months, 25 cases(89.3%) showed a significant reduction in pain and 3(10.7%) had no change in pain by subjective visual analog scale scoring. Of cases with a significant reduction in pain 15(53.6%) had complete resolution and 19(67.9%) had a 50% or greater reduction. Objective PIQ-6 analysis showed a significant reduction in pain in 78.6% of patients 6 months postoperatively, in 82.1% at 1 year, in 82.1% at 2 years. Conclusion: Targeted microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord is an effective, minimally invasive approach with potential long-term durability in patients with refractory chronic orchialgia.
