Pd45-09 scrotox: salvage peri-spermatic cord botulinum-a toxin injections for patients with refractory chronic scrotal content pain after microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord.

Botulinum-A toxin (Botox) has been shown to modulate the release of neuropeptides leading to inhibition of neurogenic inflammation and chronic pain. This provides an antinociceptive effect. Chronic scrotal content pain is a difficult condition to treat. Microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord (MDSC) is one surgical treatment option with success rates published in the 60-85% range. However, patients who fail MDSC have limited options. Our goal was to assess the use of peri-spermatic cord Botox injections (Scrotox) to provide prolonged pain relief in men with refractory chronic scrotal content pain after MDSC.
