title: [Complications associated with inguinal orchiectomy and scrotal orchiectomy].
abstract: Inguinal excision of testis is technically an elementary surgical procedure. According to the indication (e.g., malignant tumors, infarction, inflammation), an inguinal or alternatively a transcrotal approach is possible. Despite its straightforwardness, surgery of the scrotum includes remarkable risks and complications such as postoperative hemorrhage, hematoma formation, infections, and disturbances of wound healing followed by insufficient unfavorable cosmetic results. Nerve injury may be accompanied by temporary or persistent paresthesias which have been documented in our patients undergoing orchiectomy.
