Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Cystic swellings of the scrotum are widely considered one of the most common clinical entities that a surgeon comes across in daily practice. Defined as abnormal collections of fluid within the scrotal cavity, they affect males of all age groups and account for the majority of all scrotal swellings. Aim: The aim of the study was to study the different clinical pattern of presentation of patients with cystic swellings of scrotum and their incidence. Methods: Patients with cystic swelling of scrotum were taken up for the study, and various surgical techniques such as eversion, plication, subtotal/partial excision, and eversion of sac were adopted. Results: Primary vaginal hydrocele is the most common cause of cystic swelling of the scrotum with 70%. The most common presenting feature is asymptomatic swelling of the scrotum. Lord’s plication for hydrocele is simple, effective, safe, and economical for small hydrocele. Cystic swelling scrotum was most common on the right side of scrotum. Conclusion: Lord’s plication for hydrocele is simple, effective, safe, and economical; eversion of sac and partial/subtotal excision and eversion of sac hematoma formation and infection are common, but still it is the choice of operation for large hydrocele and in thickened sac.
