Many cases presented with symptoms for 2 - 4 years. Right sided scrotal swelling was common. Scrotal odema was the common complication. Average hospital stay was 2 days. Conclusions: This technique is good compared to conventional procedures because it is much easier and simpler, consumes less time, can be done with small incision under local anesthesia.
