Abstract

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) is a rare condition characterized by a large scrotal and abdominal fluid-filled sac. An inguinal surgical approach is generally described in literature. We report the case of a 7-month-old child who underwent surgical repair of bilateral ASH through bilateral transverse scrotal incisions. The scrotal approach enabled optimal visibility and access to the hydrocele sacs. Separation of the sac from the testicular pedicle was possible with excellent control. Complete excision of the sac was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Follow-up after three years shows an excellent result. We recommend ASH repair through a transverse scrotal incision.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.<br /> (© 2023 The Authors.)
