The scrotal approach to repairing inguinal hernias and hydroceles in boys is a relatively new approach, which offers the paediatric surgeon the choice of leaving a more cosmetically acceptable scar. This paper reports the experience of one centre using this approach.
195 consecutive repairs in 176 boys were studied. The operative technique is described.
With an average follow-up of 13 months, there was one recurrence. There were no wound infections. Testicular size was equal or larger than the contralateral testicle in all but two cases. All boys had an excellent cosmetic result.
The scrotal approach for inguinal hernia or hydrocele repair is a safe procedure without added morbidity and with excellent cosmetic results.
