Sumario: | Varicocele is a common case encountered in urology practice accounting for 15–20% of the general population. We are reporting a rare case of infected inguinal wounds post bilateral microsurgical varicocelectomy which led to persistent bilateral wound sinus formation. After multiple bedside wound debridement and sinus tract excision in operation theater, the patient's wounds were healed. We advise managing post-operative subcutaneous collections very closely to avoid such complications. When it happens and wound debridement is planned, we advise not to leave any dead space behind via using fat flaps. |
