Case Report

33 years old man presented with solid mass in the left scrotum, painless, no tenderness. U/S shows homogeneous mass adhering to the left testis. Open orchiectomy was decided through inguinal incision, and we removed the mass, which was an infected multiple septated hydrocele.

Questions

  1. Why do we use the inguinal approach?
  2. What method do we use in the removal and suturing, and why?
  3. What are the complications of the surgery?
  4. What follow-up is needed?
