Novel approach to removing a steel bar extending from the scrotum to anterior abdominal wall: a case report

Foreign body penetration from the scrotum is not rare. If a large and sharp foreign body pierces through an existing wound, it likely must be extended to improve exposure.

description Foreign body penetration from the scrotum is not rare. If a large and sharp foreign body pierces through an existing wound, it likely must be extended to improve exposure. Therefore, many traumatologists attempt to minimize the surgical wound caused by the removal of the foreign body. We describe a case of a foreign object penetrating from the scrotum to anterior abdominal wall. Our novel surgical approach is safe and feasible to use and provides minimal scarring, thereby allowing rapid recovery.
