Scrotoplasty

Scrotoplasty can help restore both function and appearance, improving your confidence and quality of life. This reconstructive procedure may be recommended for various conditions affecting the scrotum. Your board-certified urologist can help you understand your treatment options and guide you through the recovery process.

What is Scrotoplasty?

Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure that reconstructs or repairs the scrotum. This procedure can address various conditions affecting scrotal appearance and function, including congenital issues, injury, or changes following other surgical procedures. The procedure aims to create a natural-looking result while maintaining proper function and comfort.

The scrotum plays an important role in male reproductive health, helping regulate temperature for optimal sperm production and maintaining testicular health. When the scrotum’s structure is compromised due to various conditions, it can affect both physical and emotional well-being. Scrotoplasty can help address these concerns through careful surgical reconstruction.

Common reasons for considering scrotoplasty include:

Congenital abnormalities
Post-surgical reconstruction
Trauma or injury repair
Size or shape concerns
Skin excess or laxity
Asymmetry correction
Gender affirmation surgery
Complications from previous procedures
Hydrocele repair
Varicocele treatment

Whether your need for scrotoplasty stems from a medical condition or reconstructive purposes, your urologist can help determine if this procedure is right for you and develop an appropriate surgical plan.

What Concerns Can Scrotoplasty Address?

Patients may experience various symptoms or concerns that can be improved through scrotoplasty:

Physical discomfort or pain
Asymmetrical appearance
Excess scrotal skin
Difficulty with daily activities
Self-consciousness about appearance
Post-surgical reconstruction needs
Functional issues affecting fertility
Temperature regulation problems
Issues with clothing fit or comfort

These symptoms can significantly affect your quality of life, but they can be effectively addressed through appropriate surgical intervention and comprehensive care from your urologist.
