Abstract
The operative procedure for elephantiasis of the scrotum is described. The most important
feature is the position of the patient on the table. The patient lies on a horizontal
table with his legs hanging over the sides and his feet supported on chairs. Rolling
the tumor to the opposite side gives good exposure and obviates handling or lifting
the tumor. The penis and testes are dissected out through an incision over the pubis
and the operation is usually completed without cutting into elephantoid tissues.
