Retractile spermatic cord hernia: An unusual case report
Retractile spermatic cord hernia is clinically rare and can be easily confused with common inguinal hernias, often being diagnosed only intraoperatively. Total extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair provides a clear operative field and facilitates rapid postoperative recovery. Increased awareness of this hernia type and accurate intraoperative identification are crucial for preventing tissue injury and optimizing surgical decision-making.
