Request Summary: Emergency scrotal explorations

Request Category: Researcher


Question Number 1: I would like to know how many emergency scrotal explorations (a surgical procedure) have been done at your trust in a 12 month period e.g. 1st June 2022 to 31st May 2023. I would be most grateful if you could break this down by hospital site (if applicable). This information can usually be easily obtained through procedural coding data. Codes used for this procedure are N03.4, N13.2 or N13.3.

Answer To Question 1: There were less than six emergency scrotal exploration procedures performed at our Trust (site = Salisbury District Hospital) between 1st June 2022 and 31st May 2023. We are unable to provide the exact number as to do so would not comply with Information Governance restrictions and would potentially identify individual patients.
