German term

Leistenpforten sind verschlossen

German to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi all, I am translating a medical report (urology) and I encountered this sentence: [Leistenpforten sind verschlossen] within the scope of an ultrasound scan of the scrotum and genitals. I know it is related to the inguinal area but does anyone has an idea how to translate it? Thank you.

inguinal orifices are closed

Specifically Leistenpforte is difficult to find on Google.

This may be a better fit than canal and is from the web reference cited below, just search for orifice:

What is the inguinal orifice?
The inguinal canal is a passage in the lower anterior abdominal wall located just above the inguinal ligament. It starts from the internal inguinal orifice, extends medially and inferiorly through the abdominal wall layers and ends in the external inguinal orifice. This canal is about four to six centimeters in length.

Thanks, Sakshi, for your answer; as I said to Liz, I believe orifices is the best term in this case; not the canal itself. Please check Dr. Cristopher's answer and reference.

Once it is visualized that the inguinal canal is indeed closed and there is no hernia, we will then make an incision in the scrotum to remove the fluid.
