    OriginalReview ArticleArticle Effects of Hydrocele on Morphology and Function of Testis Bader Aldoah1 and Rajendran Ramaswamy2* 1Department of Surgery, University of Najran, Saudi Arabia; 2Department of Pediatric and Neonatal Surgery, Maternity and Children’s Hospital (MCH) (Under Ministry of Health), Najran, Saudi Arabia Corresponding author: Abstract Rajendran Ramaswamy, Department of Pediatric and Neonatal Surgery, Hydrocele is generally believed as innocent. But there is increasing evidence of noxious Maternity and Children’s Hospital influences of hydrocele on testis resulting in morphological, structural and functional (MCH) (Under Ministry of Health), Najran, Saudi Arabia, consequences. These effects are due to increased intrascrotal pressure and higher Tel: +966 536427602; Fax: temperature-exposure of the testis. Increased intrascrotal pressure can cause testicular 0096675293915; E-mail: [email protected] dysmorphism and even testicular atrophy. The testicular dysmorphism is reversible by early hydrocele surgery, but when persist, possibly indicate negative influence on future spermatogenesis. Spermatic cord compression by hydrocele is responsible for testicular volume increase. Such testes lose 15%-21% volume after hydrocele surgery. Tense scrotal hydrocele can cause acute scrotal pain from testicular compartment syndrome, which is relieved by evacuation of hydrocele. Higher resistivity index of subcapsular artery of testis and higher elasticity index of testicular tissue are caused by large hydrocele. As an aftermath, testis suffers ischaemia with long-term effect on spermatogenesis. High pressure of hydrocele along with ischaemia and oedema is found to result in histopathological damage to testis like total/partial arrest of spermatogenesis, small seminiferous tubules, disorganized spermatogenetic cells, basement membrane thickening and low fertilty index in children. Higher temperature exposure of testis interferes with spermatogenesis.

  • Management of Hydrocele in Adolescent Patients Marcello Cimador, Marco Castagnetti and Enrico De Grazia
    REVIEWS Management of hydrocele in adolescent patients Marcello Cimador, Marco Castagnetti and Enrico De Grazia Abstract | Hydrocele is defined as an abnormal collection of serous fluid in the potential space between the parietal and visceral layers of the tunica vaginalis. In the majority of affected adolescents, hydrocele is acquired and is idiopathic in origin. The pathogenesis of idiopathic hydrocele is thought to be an imbalance in the normal process of fluid production and reabsorption. The diagnosis is usually clinical. Taking a thorough history is essential to rule out any fluctuation in size, which is an indication of a patent processus vaginalis. Scrotal ultrasonography is mandatory in nonpalpable testicles to rule out a subtending testicular solid mass requiring inguinal exploration. Otherwise, open hydrocelectomy via a scrotal incision is the standard treatment of idiopathic hydroceles. The second most common cause of hydrocele in adolescents is varicocelectomy. The risk of hydrocele formation is higher with non-artery-sparing procedures or those performed without microsurgical aid, and in surgery requiring cord dissection. If hydrocele occurs after varicocelectomy, initial management should include observation with or without hydrocele aspiration. Large persistent hydroceles are best served by open hydrocelectomy.

  • Assessment of the Patients Suffering from Hydrocele in IGIMS, Patna
    International Journal of Medical and Health Research Original Research Article International Journal of Medical and Health Research ISSN: 2454-9142 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.54 www.medicalsciencejournal.com Volume 4; Issue 1; January 2018; Page No. 133-135 Assessment of the patients suffering from hydrocele in IGIMS, Patna Dr. Bijay Kumar1, Dr. Sukumar Jha2 1 Senior Resident, Department of General Surgery, IGIMS, Patna, Bihar, India 2 Professor & HOD, Department of General Surgery, IGIMS, Patna, Bihar, India Abstract Hydrocele is one of the commonest diseases occurring worldwide. Since olden days surgical procedures have been described for the treatment of hydrocele. The surgical procedures commonly used for the treatment of hydrocele is the radical operation in which the parietal layer of the tunica vaginalis is completely removed and its cut edges are sutured posteriorly. Hence the present study was planned to assess the clinical profile of the Hydrocele in the patients referred to the IGIMS Patna. The present study was planned on the 25 patients diagnosed with the Hydrocele in General Surgery Dept, IGIMS, Patna from Jun 2008 to Nov 2008. In all the cases, routine investigations were done which included hemogram, random blood sugar, blood for TC, DC, ESR, scrotal ultrasound. The data generated from the present study suggest that the diagnosis and treatment of hydrocele are relatively simple and less complicated the number of patients with hydrocele is high in communities. The social stigma, ignorance, poverty, lack of awareness and lack of health care facilities in areas are the common causes of late presentation. Hence awareness about hydrocele should be spread among the rural populations and they should be encouraged to avail early medical attention.

  • APA1-1 Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair
    APA1-1 Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair: Looking back and forward Anil Sharma Max Institute of Minimal Access, Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, Max Superspeciality Hospital, India Laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia is an accepted modality of treatment that has stood the test of time. The laparoscopic repair is advantageous in terms of shorter hospital stay and lesser wound infection rate. There are clear advantages of laparoscopic repair in elderly and morbidly obese patient. The recurrence rates are reported tobe similar or better than open repair. The advantages of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM) are that it is a standardized technique, reproducible and we have long term results over 25years .However, the intraperitoneal mesh that is required for laparoscopic IPOM repair remains a concern. Recent updated guidelines state that the intraperitoneal placement of prosthesis specifi cally produced for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is safe. However, the same guidelines also state that the use of an intraperitoneal mesh is associated with adhesion formation, shrinkage of mesh and chronic pain. In our study at a tertiary referral center, we observed signifi cant morbidity during re-laparoscopy access and also adhesion related morbidity from previous intraperitoneal mesh implantation. We know that the underlay approach for mesh placement in hernia repair is best. This entails mesh to be placed in the intraperitoneal, extraperitoneal or retrorectus location. Experience with Rives-Stoppa open repair of abdominal wall hernias indicates a low rate of recurrence. The laparoscopic retrorectus repair of abdominal wall hernias appears to combine all the advantages of laparoscopic approach and retrorectus placement of mesh. Further effort to develop a laparoscopic approach to the retrorectus space for treatment for abdominal wall hernias is likely.
