Antegrade Testicular Vein Phlebography and Funicular Lymphography in Testicular Tumors

Abstract
Antegrade phlebography of a testicular vein in connection with orchidectomy was performed in 29 patients and funicular lymphography was successful in 26 of these. Eleven patients had retroperitoneal metastases and 18 were normal. The phlebographic and lymphographic findings in both groups are described and discussed as well as the collateral pathways in cases with stenosis of the testicular vein. Antegrade phlebography is recommended but funicular lymphography does not merit a place in the routine examinations of patients with testicular tumor.
