Scrotal emergencies-Two case reports on scrotal exploration scenarios
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This case report evaluates the management of acute scrotal emergency in two similar cases with presenting complaints and different outcomes post-scrotal exploration. One case of young male discusses the eventual outcome of testicular torsion and importance of urgent exploration combined with careful cord examination, whilst second case was simply a hematocele requiring excision of sac. There is overall discussion of importance of scrotal exploration, even if at times it may not yield any positive findings.
