Abstract
The expts. were carried out to determine whether Colles'' fascia represents a temporary barrier to the passage of urine. The material was obtained from 16 fresh cadavers. In the majority of cases the fasciae reacted to the test in such a manner that they could be conceived as acting as a barrier in preventing the extravasated urine from immediately appearing in the scrotum. In general the permeability of the fascia became less after being exposed to urine for some time, and in no case was the permeability increased by the action of the urine.Keywords
