[Results of surgical treatment of five cases with phlegmon of the scrotum for the 2012-2015 period]

Abstract

Phlegmon of the serotum is a severe form of suppurative inflammatory process, which causes are extremely various. For the 2012 - 2015 year period at the department of urology we had five cases of phlegmon of the scrotum, where incision was performed as well as debridement and drainage and the wound was closed with the available tissues of the scrotum. Aggressive debridement of all necrotic tissues and all fascial planes that were separating easily during the blunt dissection were excised until well vascularized tissue was reached. The wounds were left wide opened until the appearance of healthy granulation tissue and then assessment of their secondary closing. Tissues were sent for histological and microbiological assessment.
