The relationship between inflammation and mean platelet volume in varicocele pathophysiology.

Introduction: The mean platelet volume (MPV) is an extensively employed laboratory indicator related to platelet volume and function in inflammatory circumstances. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between inflammation and mean platelet volume in varicocele pathophysiology.

Methods: We conducted a recent study, which included 131 varicocele subjects and 82 healthy controls.

Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum presenting as a scrotal mass in a two-year-old child.

Here, we describe a case of congenital anterior urethral diverticulum (CAUD) in a two-year-old boy, who presented with right inguinoscrotal swelling that mimicked a spermatic cord cyst or hydrocele. Accurate diagnosis was made intraoperatively by retrograde urethrography. Open diverticulectomy and primary urethroplasty were performed for its management.
