Microdenervation of the spermatic cord (MSCD) is an effective treatment modality for men with intractable scrotal content pain. For patients not interested in preserving fertility, some centers advocate ligation vas during denervation, while others prefer stripping deferens to preserve vasal artery, hence vasculature testis and possibly decreasing post-operative congestion
