The artery in the cord
Allow about two minutes for two rounds. This scenario is teaching content; the score supports revision and does not assess clinical competence.
The scenario
- Subinguinal varicocelectomy.
- The cord is delivered and opened.
What you see
- Several dilated, dark veins.
- Between them a smaller vessel that pulses when the cord is relaxed, and beside it thin, clear channels.
