Hemiscrotectomy with contralateral testicular transposition for scrotal cancer.

Purpose: Wide excision of scrotal tumors results in serious defects to such an extent that in some cases the contents of the scrotum cannot be preserved. We describe a hemiscrotectomy technique with transposition of the testis to the contralateral hemiscrotum that facilitates closure of the surgical wound and allows preservation of the testis.

Materials And Methods: Our procedure was used in 3 patients with scrotal neoplasia, including 2 with squamous cell carcinoma and 1 with extramammary Paget's disease.
