Surgical management of chronic scrotal pain: a review of the current literature.

Chronic scrotal pain (CSP) may be due to an identifiable cause, may be multifactorial, or may be idiopathic. Successful treatment often requires multimodal therapy with a multidisciplinary approach. Conservative options may be offered initially, but if symptoms fail to improve with conservative interventions, more invasive therapies may be required.

Do Arthroscopic Fluid Pumps Display True Surgical Site Pressure During Hip Arthroscopy?

Purpose: To report on the accuracy of 5 commercially available arthroscopic fluid pumps to measure fluid pressure at the surgical site during hip arthroscopy.

Methods: Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement were block randomized to the use of 1 of 5 arthroscopic fluid pumps. A spinal needle inserted into the operative field was used to measure surgical site pressure.
