Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficiency of the interscrotal approach to inguinoscrotal pathologies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We report the use of the interscrotal approach in 21 boys, from September 2012 to November 2013, operated using an interscrotal access through a vertical incision on the median raphe. RESULTS: The approach was used for bilateral inguinal hernia (48%), bilateral ectopic testis (19%), torsion of the spermatic cord (19%), testicular biopsy (10%) and webbing of the penis (5%). CONCLUSION: Inter-scrotal access is an option for inguinoscrotal pathologies, with the advantages of a single incision, much less dissection and disruption of tissue, and greater comfort for the 'day-case' child.
