Surgical exploration is recommended for acute scrotal pain when diagnosis is uncertain. This fast, low-risk procedure aids in accurate diagnosis and organ preservation, especially in young patients.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Diagnosis

Context:

  • Acute scrotal pain presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Current diagnostic methods for scrotal pain have limitations in reliability.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of surgical exploration for acute scrotal pain.
  • To establish guidelines for managing acute scrotal pain, particularly post-traumatic cases.

Summary:

  • Surgical exploration was performed on 13 out of 121 patients with acute scrotal pain.
  • While some surgeries revealed only epididymitis (avoidable), others successfully treated pedunculated hydatids (15 cases) and testicular hematomas (10 cases).
  • The average operative time was 18 minutes, with minimal complications, highlighting surgery as a safe diagnostic tool.

Impact:
