| Popis: | Scrotal edema is accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces in subcutaneous tissue of scrotum. One of the important causes of that occurring is post operatively in patients of inguino-scrotal surgeries. Various methods-cumbersome and ugly looking- have been used over the years for the management of scrotal edema post operatively. We here present a novel, cosmetically improved and effective method of bandaging to prevent formation of scrotal edema- an avoidable complication. A prospective study was done on 200 patients following inguino-scrotal surgeries where a ponytail bandage was ap- plied over the scrotal skin and satisfactory results were found on follow up in terms of cellulitis, edema and patient comfort. |
