English translation:ample/wide isolation of the spermatic cord

Explanation:
ample/wide isolation of the spermatic cord

In English, both in Biology and Medicine, "funiculus spermaticus" and "spermatic funiculus" are clearly understood, but the term we use is "spermatic cord." The first two most often originate from non-native speaker translations into English from another language.

Google (for what it's worth):

37 English pages for "spermatic funiculus"
176 English pages for "funiculus spermaticus"
211,000 English pages for "spermatic cord"

agree

Claire Restivo: Also agree with your comment. Ample and wide bother me abit - might one say 'complete isolation'?

16 hrs

-> ciao Claire, we share the same doubts. Con 'ampio' comunque, non si intende completo (nel qual caso complete or thorough would be fine) ma proprio "ampio", che non e' proprio completo, ma di entita' sufficiente ed indispensabile alla procedura. Un dilemma

disagree

Brett Richards, B.S., M.B.A.: "Spermatic cord" is the far more common term in English in both Biology and Medicine. "Spermatic funiculus" and "funiculus spermaticus" are compartively rare and usually appear in translations into English from other languages.
