Objective: To report two cases of acute idiopathic scrotal edema.
Methods: We describe the cases of two 12-year-old male patients presenting at the emergency department of our hospital with pain, edema and erythema in one hemiscrotum without history of trauma.
Results: On physical examination both patients showed red hemiscrotum skin and increase of the size with normal testicles and epididymis. With the diagnosis of acute scrotum testicular ultrasound were performed and showed heterogeneous edema of the scrotal skin with increased in Doppler flows and normal testicles.
Conclusions: Acute idiopathic scrotal edema is a self-limited pathology which basically affects children before puberty and should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute scrotum to avoid aggressive interventions.

A Novel Technique for Inguinal Hernia Repair in Patients With Nonmalignant Ascites.
Cureus
December 2024
Surgery, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, USA.
Introduction: We report a novel approach to open inguinal hernia repair in patients with known ascites in which the cord, hernia sac, and attached testicle on the affected side are repositioned into the retroperitoneum through the inguinal ring. By avoiding invasion of the peritoneum and limiting dissection of the sac off the spermatic cord, the risk of ascites leak and testicular ischemia is theoretically decreased.
Methodology: This is a retrospective case series report.

Article Synopsis
- Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by low levels or dysfunctional C1 inhibitor, leading to recurrent episodes of swelling and abdominal pain.
- A reported case involves a 53-year-old man with a longstanding history of recurrent edema and family history, who showed low levels of plasma proteins but faced treatment challenges despite various therapies, including a trial of Lanadelumab for prophylaxis.
- The patient's experience highlights issues in managing HAE, revealing an adverse reaction to Lanadelumab that is not commonly documented, emphasizing the need for better-informed treatment strategies.

To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the lateral single-incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (L-SILTEP) approach in patients with inguinal hernia who had contraindications to the midline approach. This study included 58 patients who underwent L-SILTEP. Data on their baseline characteristics and perioperative details were collected.

Department of General Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
Background: The incidence of seroma formation is high following laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia. Literature has shown many intraoperative techniques to reduce post-operative seroma formation. The hypothesis was made that scrotal support may reduce seroma formation following laparoscopic or robotic hernia surgery.

Background: Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is the standard of care for palpable, biopsy-proven lymph node metastases or high-risk groups for nonpalpable lymph nodes in the treatment of penile cancer. ILND is associated with a significant incidence of complications and adverse events, specifically wound complications. Few studies have identified risk factors related to postoperative ILND complications.
