Although studies on scrotal orchiopexy have mentioned hernia or hydrocele repair through the same scrotal incision as a part of an orchiopexy procedure, there are a few studies reporting the treatment of isolated communicating hydrocele through a scrotal incision. We retrospectively evaluated and compared the outcomes of inguinal and scrotal approaches for the treatment of communicating hydrocele in boys. The classical inguinal and scrotal approaches to the treatment of communicating hydrocele were performed on 46 and 30 testicular units (in 43 boys and 27 boys, respectively). The patients' charts were reviewed to assess the operative times as well as the immediate and long\u2010term complications during follow\u2010up periods. The patients' ages ranged from 1 year to 8 years (3.6\u2009\u00b1\u20092.0 years) in the inguinal group and from 1 year to 10 years (mean 4.6\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8 years) in the scrotal group. Operative time was significantly lower in the scrotal group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). The early minor complication rate did not differ between the two groups. Furthermore, there were no major complications noted. None of the patients had hydrocele recurrence after a mean follow\u2010up of 6 months. The advantages of the scrotal approach for the treatment of communicating hydrocele are as follows: it is well tolerated, simple, and cosmetically appealing, and it has a short operative time in comparison with the standard inguinal approach. The scrotal incision technique is an effective alternative in communicating hydrocele treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.kjms.2013.11.006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,25]],"date-time":"2013-12-25T03:00:40Z","timestamp":1387940440000},"page":"200-205","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Comparison
