Abstract:
Scrotal elephantiasis (scrotal lymphoedema) is essentially observed in filaria endemic zones. It is very rare outside of these zones and is usually idiopathic, and rarely congenital or secondary. The authors report two cases of scrotal elephantiasis treated by wide resection of the pathological scrotal wall and penoscrotal repair with a good functional and cosmetic result.

01:19Testes: Gross Anatomy
The testes, also known as testicles, are the male gonads. They are housed within the scrotum, a sac-like structure located beneath the penis. The scrotum's primary role is to regulate the temperature of the testes, which is crucial for sperm production.
Each testis is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a dense connective tissue layer that provides structural support and protection. This layer is covered by an outer serous membrane called the tunica vaginalis, which helps reduce friction...
