Retroperitoneal hematomas are rare complications of radical inguinal orchiectomy. This case report discusses their radiological differential diagnosis and management.
A radical inguinal orchiectomy was performed on a 27-year-old patient. After discharge, he referred back pain. Computed tomography showed a retroperitoneal hematoma. A conservative approach was decided.
Traditionally, retroperitoneal hematomas have been considered possible radiologic pitfalls, which has therapeutical implications. This pitfall seems less likely in contemporary clinical practice.A conservative approach is preferred in stable patients, whereas active management should be offered to unstable patients.
Future studies are necessary to offer evidence-based therapeutical options.
腹膜后血肿是根治性腹股沟睾丸切除术罕见的并发症。本病例报告讨论了其放射学鉴别诊断及处理方法。
对一名27岁患者实施了根治性腹股沟睾丸切除术。出院后,他出现了背痛。计算机断层扫描显示有腹膜后血肿。决定采取保守治疗方法。
传统上,腹膜后血肿一直被认为是可能的放射学陷阱,这具有治疗意义。在当代临床实践中,这种陷阱似乎不太可能出现。对于病情稳定的患者,首选保守治疗方法,而对于病情不稳定的患者,则应采取积极的治疗措施。
有必要进行进一步研究以提供基于证据的治疗选择。
