title: Bilateral Circum-scrotal Z-plasties for Creation of Single Scrotal Sac in Cloacal Exstrophy With Widely Divergent Scrotal Sacs.
abstract: Significant number of patients with cloacal exstrophy variants present with poorly developed scrotum. Widely divergent hypoplastic scrotal sacs pose a technical challenge for scrotal reconstruction. We describe a technique of bilateral Z-plasty for the creation of single scrotal sac in a patient with widely divergent, hypoplastic scrotal sacs.
