Scrotal reconstruction for giant inguinal hernias

D J Hodgkinson et al. Surg Clin North Am. 1984 Apr.

Abstract

Giant inguinal hernias require special consideration for repair of the abdominal wall. The associated greatly thickened, enlarged scrotum should be discarded and a neoscrotum should be reconstructed from the uninvolved perineal-scrotal skin. A cloverleaf design flap is used for this reconstruction.
