A Clinico-Pathological Study of Acute Scrotal Swelling
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Acute scrotum is a surgical emergency which warrants immediate medical attention. Although these swellings are frequently encountered, many a time testis could not be salvaged due to late or incorrect diagnosis. In this prospective observational study, a total of 50 cases of acute scrotal swellings were included for clinico-pathological analysis between August 2014 and July 2015. Acute epididymo-orchitis was found to be the commonest condition followed by Fournier’s gangrene and haematocele. It was more common amongst younger individuals and people involved in strenuous works. Scrotal swelling associated with pain was the commonest presenting feature, fever and burning micturation being the next common symptoms. Total 27(54%) patients were treated conservatively and remaining 23(46%) patients received surgical interventions. Culture showed polymicrobial growth in 37.50% and monomicrobial growth in 62.50% of the examined cases. Histopathological examination was performed in two cases, one for haematocele and other for torsion of testis. There was no mortality in our study and all cases showed good recovery in six month follow up.
