[Partial gangrene of the scrotum and penis. A complication of sclerotherapy of testicular hydrocele].
Localized gangrene of the scrotum and penis as a complication to tetracycline sclerotherapy for hydrocele has not been reported before. I describe the complication in a 56 year-old man who was admitted to our plastic surgery unit for excision and reconstruction four days after sclerotherapy. The procedure of tapping and injection, and how to avoid this type of complication, are discussed.
