The septum of the scrotum is a vertical layer of fibrous tissue that that divides the two compartments of the scrotum. It consists of flexible connective tissue. Its structure is extends to the skin surface of the scrotum as the scrotal raphe.〔(Mediastinum dictionary definition )〕) It is an incomplete wall of connective tissue and nonstriated muscle (dartos fascia) dividing the scrotum into two sacs, each containing a testis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Medlixicon Medical Dictionary )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Free Dictionary's Medical dictionary )〕 Histological septa are seen throughout most tissues of the body, particularly where they are needed to stiffen soft cellular tissue, and they also provide planes of ingress for small blood vessels. Because the dense collagen fibres of a septum usually extend out into the softer adjacent tissues. A septum is a cross-wall. Thus it divides a structure into smaller parts. The scrotal septum is used in reconstructive surgery to restore tissue and or reproductive organs injured or severed by trauma.〔Male Sexual Dysfunction: Pathophysiology and Treatment, edited by Fouad R.
