Abstract

Intraoperative consultation including FS of testicular lesions is infrequently performed, since the available diagnostic imaging techniques and serum tumor markers permit most neoplasia to be diagnosed prior to orchiectomy. However, the number of cases of conservative surgical management is increasing in which the urologist performs an intraoperative analysis of the testicular lesion in order to be able to perform testis-sparing surgery. The possible reasons for intraoperative consultation are listed in Table 5.1
