Technique and results of trans-scrotal operations for hydrocele and scrotal cysts.
Surgical procedures for scrotal hydroceles and cysts carry a significant morbidity rate from haematoma formation. Lord's transcrotal procedure involves minimal tissue dissection. The present series of 84 cases confirms Lord's original claims of a very low risk of haematoma with no recurrence. It is concluded that Lord's procedure is effective, simple, safe and economic.
