Contemporary Management of Benign and Malignant Scrotal Conditions: Ablative and Reconstructive Challenges | Chapter 13 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 Scrotal repair is essential after surgical excision of both malignant and benign tumors. Because of the scrotum's unusual architecture, several traditional reconstructive methods are ineffective, at least in general. Even when 60 percent of the skin has been removed, the rugated and elastic skin of the scrotum compensates for tissue loss, allowing regeneration. On the negative side, the scrotum's exposed position and mobility, as well as the requirement to cover the testes, create a barrier to employing skin grafts, restricting the types of tissues that can be used for reconstruction. In this article, we'll go over the most frequent malignant and benign disorders that surgeons will encounter. Identify a handful of reconstructive approaches that will address the majority of clinical cases in this article.
