[Microsurgical therapy of scrotum elephantiasis].
Scrotoplasty has been used in the treatment of scrotal elephantiasis but it is most traumatic and achieved unsatisfactory results. The author developed a microlymphatico-venous procedure to treat elephantiasis of the scrotum and applied it clinically with good results. The scrotal size was immediately reduced to a nearly normal value. The indication, types of procedures and advantages of the operation are presented.
