The scrotal hitch for hemostasis and edema prevention in scrotal surgery

Postoperative hematoma, edema, and ecchymosis are the most common complications in scrotal surgery. Without proper hemostasis intraoperatively or appropriate scrotal compression postoperatively, significant morbidity, including re-exploration and prolonged convalescence; can occur. The scrotal hitch provides hemostasis, minimizes edema and hematomas, and reaffirms other clinicians' findings.
