A hydrocele is a collection of fluid within the processus vaginalis that causes swelling in the scrotum. It can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary to diseases like tuberculosis. The processus vaginalis normally closes after birth but failure of closure can lead to a communicating hydrocele. Surgery is usually not needed for small hydroceles in infants but may be required for larger or symptomatic hydroceles to prevent complications. Common surgical techniques include excision or plication of the hydrocele sac. Postoperative follow up is needed to ensure complete recovery. Recurrence after surgery is rare.
Hydrocele is a collection of fluid within the processus vaginalis that causes swelling in the scrotum. It is usually caused by a failure of the processus vaginalis to completely fuse during development. Hydroceles can be communicating or non-communicating depending on whether the processus vaginalis remains open to the abdominal cavity. The standard treatment is surgical repair to prevent the fluid from reaccumulating. Surgery involves ligating and removing the hydrocele sac to restore normal drainage from the scrotum. Complications are rare if the surgery is performed properly.
This document provides an overview of hydrocele, including:
- Hydrocele is an abnormal collection of fluid between layers of the tunica vaginalis that causes painless scrotal swelling.
- It most commonly affects men over 40 and can also affect newborns. There are various types including primary/idiopathic, secondary, congenital, and infantile hydroceles.
- Signs include fluctuant, transilluminant scrotal swelling. Surgical treatments include tapping, evacuation/eversion, and excision of the hydrocele sac. Ayurveda views it as caused by suppressed urges to urinate.
This document provides an overview of hydrocele, including:
1) Hydrocele is an abnormal collection of serous fluid in the tunica vaginalis that commonly presents as a painless scrotal swelling.
2) There are several types of hydrocele including primary/idiopathic, secondary, congenital, and infantile varieties.
3) Evaluation involves physical exam findings like transillumination and fluctuation testing while treatment options range from conservative management to surgical procedures.
This document discusses various pediatric inguinal-scrotal swellings including inguinal hernia, maldescended testes, hydrocele, and torsion testis. It provides details on the anatomy, presentation, examination, differential diagnosis, investigations, and management of each condition. The key points are that inguinal hernias and hydroceles often present as palpable scrotal swellings in infants and children. Maldescended testes can occur in ectopic locations and require surgery. Torsion testis is a surgical emergency due to risk of testicular necrosis from interrupted blood flow. Prompt surgical exploration is needed to detorse and assess viability of the testis in suspected cases of torsion.
Hydrocele Seminar - A comprehensive review of literatureHarmandeep Jabbal
- Hydrocele is an abnormal fluid collection between the layers of the tunica vaginalis that surrounds the testis. It can be congenital if there is a failure of closure of the processus vaginalis, or acquired due to various causes like infection, trauma, or tumors.
- Physical exam reveals a smooth, cystic mass surrounding the testis that transilluminates and can be lifted above the swelling. Surgery is the definitive treatment and involves excising the sac (hydrocelectomy) or suturing it behind the testis (Jaboulay procedure). Complications are rare but include injury to surrounding structures or recurrence.

For polyhydramnios, it defines it as an amniotic fluid index (AFI) over 24cm or deepest vertical pocket over 8cm. Causes include fetal anomalies, placental chorioangiomas, multiple pregnancies, and maternal diabetes. Management includes monitoring, treating the underlying cause if known, and amnioreduction for severe cases. Oligohydramnios is defined as an AFI under 5cm or pocket under 2cm. Causes are fetal issues like anomalies or maternal factors like hypertension. Risks
posterior urethral valve.. ahmed oshibaahmed eshiba
This document discusses posterior urethral valves, a congenital abnormality affecting male newborns. It presents in about 1 in 5000 live male births and causes obstructive uropathy. Symptoms range from asymptomatic to renal failure and can include urinary retention, infection, distension. Antenatal diagnosis is now common using ultrasonography showing keyhole sign and hydronephrosis. Initial management involves catheterization and antibiotics with endoscopic valve ablation usually within days of birth. Long term risks include bladder dysfunction, reflux, hypertension and end stage renal disease in approximately 25% of cases. Close follow up is needed to monitor renal function and treat complications.
A hydrocele is a collection of fluid in the sac surrounding a testicle. It is usually congenital but can also be caused by injury or infection. On physical exam, a hydrocele feels like a smooth, cystic mass that can be moved above the testicle. While often asymptomatic, larger hydroceles can cause discomfort. Treatment involves surgery to remove or drain the fluid, with risks including bleeding and infection. Without treatment, potential complications include infection, calcification, or testicular atrophy.
This document discusses hydrosalpinx, which is a distended fallopian tube filled with fluid caused by distal blockage. The main causes are pelvic inflammatory disease from infections like chlamydia. Symptoms can include pelvic pain and infertility. Diagnosis involves ultrasound, HSG, CT or MRI. Treatment depends on whether fertility is desired. For fertility, salpingectomy before IVF improves live birth rates by removing toxic fluid. Tubal surgery may help mild cases. IVF is main treatment if fertility desired. Leaving a non-painful hydrosalpinx in situ is also an option if not trying to conceive.
abortions( hemorrhagic in early pregnancythxz2fdqxw
This document discusses various types of bleeding in early pregnancy. It defines abortion and classifies it as spontaneous or induced, with spontaneous abortion further divided. The main causes of bleeding in early pregnancy are abortion (95%), ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, and implantation bleeding. Genetic factors account for 50% of early miscarriages due to chromosomal abnormalities. Other causes include endocrine, anatomical, infectious, immunological and unexplained factors. Different types of spontaneous abortion are defined including threatened, inevitable, complete, incomplete and missed abortion. Management depends on the type and stage of abortion.
1) Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. It is a serious condition that can lead to maternal death if left untreated.
2) Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include previous pelvic infections, IUD use, infertility treatments, and previous ectopic pregnancies or pelvic surgeries.
3) Clinical presentation varies from acute abdominal pain and shock due to tubal rupture to more subtle symptoms like abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis is confirmed through transvaginal ultrasound and tests of beta-hCG levels and progesterone.
4) Treatment depends on severity but may include medication with methotrexate
Hydrocele is a collection of fluid in the scrotum that results from a defect or irritation in the tunica vaginalis. It is usually painless and causes swelling of the scrotum. A hydrocele can be diagnosed based on physical exam findings like transillumination of the swollen area and ultrasound findings of a cystic mass around the testicle. While most hydroceles are benign, further investigation is needed to rule out other causes for scrotal swelling like hernia or testicular torsion that require urgent treatment.
This document discusses the anatomy, clinical features, and management of various anorectal conditions including rectal prolapse, pilonidal disease, and perianal fistula. It begins with the anatomy of the rectum and anal canal. For rectal prolapse, it describes the types, risk factors, clinical features, and surgical management including procedures like Delormes and Altemeier's operation. Pilonidal disease and its pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical exam, and treatments are outlined. Perianal fistula is defined and the Goodsall rule, Park's classification system, investigations, and common surgical interventions like fistulotomy are summarized.
Culdocentesis is a procedure to obtain peritoneal fluid from the pouch of Douglas through the vaginal wall using a spinal needle. It can help diagnose conditions causing abdominal or pelvic pain or fluid, such as a ruptured ovarian cyst or ectopic pregnancy. The procedure involves inserting a needle into the pouch of Douglas after numbing the vaginal area. Fluid is then aspirated through the needle and analyzed. Complications can include organ puncture, infection, bleeding, or false results. A positive result of non-clotting blood suggests an ectopic pregnancy or other bleeding cause.
This document provides an overview of abortion presented by Miss. Ekta Bagh at Apollo College of Nursing, Durg. It defines abortion as the expulsion of an embryo or fetus weighing 500 grams or less that is incapable of survival. The document discusses common causes of abortion in the first and second trimesters such as genetic factors, infections, endocrine disorders, and anatomical abnormalities. It also describes the mechanisms, types (threatened, inevitable, complete, incomplete, missed), signs, investigations, management, and complications of abortion.
This document provides information about culdocentesis, including:
1. Culdocentesis is a procedure to obtain peritoneal fluid from the pouch of Douglas in the female pelvis for diagnostic purposes.
2. The pouch of Douglas is located between the rectum and posterior uterus and often contains small amounts of peritoneal fluid.
3. Culdocentesis may be used to diagnose conditions like ectopic pregnancy, ruptured ovarian cysts, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
This document discusses postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), defined as blood loss exceeding 500 mL following childbirth. It describes the types and causes of PPH, including atonic uterus, trauma, retained tissues, and thrombin deficiencies. Prevention methods are outlined, such as active management of the third stage of labor. Treatment protocols are provided for various PPH situations, including uterotonic drugs, uterine massage, tamponade, and surgical techniques if bleeding cannot be controlled otherwise. Primary PPH occurs within 24 hours of delivery while secondary PPH develops after 24 hours from retained tissues or infection.
A hydatidiform mole is a benign tumor of the placenta that can develop after conception. It occurs more frequently in Asian women and women over age 45. A complete mole contains no embryo and results from fertilization by a sperm that duplicates the paternal chromosomes. A partial mole contains some normal placental tissue but also abnormal molar areas, resulting from fertilization by two sperm. Diagnosis is based on an elevated hCG level and ultrasound findings, and treatment involves surgical evacuation of the uterus. Follow up hCG testing is needed to monitor for choriocarcinoma, a rare type of cancer that can develop after a molar pregnancy.
PPH Postpartum hemorrhage, affecter the delivery of fetus vaginal bleeding you can see with in 24 hours this primary PPH, secondary PPH will be up 28 of delivery.
It is an abnormal condition of the placenta where there are partly degenerative and partly proliferative changes in the young chorionic villi. These result in the formation of clusters of small cysts of varying sizes. Because of its superficial resemblance to hydatid cyst, it is named as hydatidiform mole.
1. Varicocele is an abnormal dilation of the veins within the spermatic cord that represents the most common cause of male infertility.
2. Varicoceles are present in 15-81% of men with infertility and are associated with declining testicular function over time due to elevated temperature and impaired blood flow.
3. Treatment involves ligating or occluding the dilated veins, with options including open or laparoscopic retroperitoneal approaches, inguinal or subinguinal approaches, and radiographic embolization techniques.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. Risk factors include previous pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic surgery, or an intrauterine device. Without treatment, a tubal pregnancy risks rupturing the fallopian tube due to the limited space for growth. Diagnosis involves a pregnancy test and ultrasound, while treatment focuses on resolving the ectopic pregnancy through medication or surgery to avoid life-threatening bleeding. Rare sites of ectopic implantation include the ovaries, cervix, or peritoneal cavity.
Hydatidiform mole, also known as a molar pregnancy, is a gestational trophoblastic disease where the placenta develops abnormally, forming cysts that resemble grape clusters. It can be partial, containing some normal embryonic tissue, or complete, lacking an embryo. Complete moles have a higher risk of developing into gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Diagnosis is made through ultrasound, beta-hCG levels, and tissue examination. Treatment involves uterine evacuation followed by frequent beta-hCG monitoring for one year to check for regrowth.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur more commonly in girls than boys, with the highest rates in infants and during toilet training. In boys, most UTIs occur in the first year of life and are more common in uncircumcised boys. UTIs are usually caused by bacteria that enter the bladder from the gastrointestinal tract. The main types of UTIs are pyelonephritis, cystitis, and asymptomatic bacteriuria. Pyelonephritis involves the kidneys and can cause fever and other systemic symptoms, while cystitis only involves the bladder. Imaging studies like ultrasound and voiding cystourethrogram help identify anatomical abnormalities and assess renal involvement and function in children with UTIs.
1. Acute glomerulonephritis is a common kidney disease in children that often presents with red urine caused by blood in the urine. It typically results from a prior streptococcal infection of the throat or skin.
2. The disease is characterized by sudden onset of hematuria, decreased urine output, edema, and high blood pressure. It involves inflammation of the capillary loops in the kidneys caused by antigen-antibody complexes depositing in the glomeruli.
3. Treatment focuses on monitoring for hematuria, edema, and hypertension. Fluid intake is restricted if urine output decreases significantly. Antibiotics may be given if a streptococcal infection preceded the acute glomerulone

Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Hydrocele
⚫A hydrocele is a collection of fluid within the
processus vaginalis (PV) that produces swelling
in the inguinal region or scrotum.

7. Relevant Anatomy
⚫The developmental anatomy of the inguinal canal
is responsible for the genesis of pediatric
communicating hydroceles.
⚫As the testis descends from the posterolateral
genitourinary ridge at the beginning of the third
trimester of fetal gestation, a saclike extension of
peritoneum descends in concert with the testis.
⚫As descent progresses, the sac envelops the
testis and epididymis. The result is a serosal-lined
tubular communication between the abdomen
and the tunica vaginalis of the scrotum.
8. ⚫The peritoneum-derived serosal communication is
the processus vaginalis, and the serosa of the
hemiscrotum becomes the tunica vaginalis.
⚫At term, or within the first 1-2 years of life, the
processus vaginalis of the spermatic cord
fuses, obliterating the communication between
the abdomen and the scrotum.
⚫The processus fuses distally as far as the lower
epididymal pole and anteriorly to the upper
epididymal pole.
⚫Failure of complete fusion may result in
communicating hydroceles, indirect inguinal
hernias, and the bell-clapper deformity of
abnormal testicular fixation in the scrotum.
9. Classification
⚫Primary hydrocele—when there is no definitive
cause / idiopathic.
⚫Secondary hydrocele—diseases of testis
1. TB of epididymis
2. Epididymal orchitis
3. Syphilitic orchitis
4.Testicular tumours (seminoma—5th
decade of life and onwards, teratoma—1st
and 2nd decades of life, sertoli cell
tumours, leydig cell tumours, lymphoma)
5. Orchitis arising by virus
6. Trauma
10. Difference between primary and secondary
hydrocele:
Primary Secondary
Big and tense Small and loose, lax
Testis cannot be felt Testis can be felt
No definitive history Definitive history of the disease
13. Epidemiology
⚫Patent processus vaginalis are found in 80-90%
of term male infants at birth.
⚫This frequency rate steadily decreases until age 2
years, when it appears to plateau at
approximately 25-40%. Indeed, autopsy series of
men have identified a frequency rate of 20% of
the processus vaginalis remaining patent until
late in life.
⚫However, clinically apparent scrotal hydroceles
are evident in only 6% of term males beyond the
newborn period. Certain conditions, such as
breech presentation, gestational progestin
use, and low birth weight, have been associated
with an increased risk of hydroceles.
14. Etiology of Hydroceles
⚫ Congenital Hydroceles
With the descent of the testis, the parietal peritoneum forms the
processus vaginalis and the cavity of the tunica vaginalis of the
testis. The processus vaginalis normally obliterates till the fourth
month of life. Congenital hydroceles occur mostly through lack of
closure of the processus vaginalis (= communicating hydrocele).
⚫ Acquired Hydroceles
Usually, there is a balance between fluid production and outflow in
the cavity of the tunica vaginalis. The following diseases disturb this
balance: inflammation, tumors, testicular trauma, torsion of the
testis or testicular appendages, defective lymphatic drainage (after
surgery for varicoceles or inguinal hernias).
15. Pathophysiology
⚫The pathophysiology of hydroceles requires an
imbalance of scrotal fluid production and
absorption. This imbalance can be divided further
into exogenous fluid sources or intrinsic fluid
production.
⚫Alternatively, hydroceles can be divided into those
that represent a persistent communication with
the abdominal cavity and those that do not. Fluid
excesses are from exogenous sources (the
abdomen) in communicating hydroceles, whereas
noncommunicating hydroceles develop increased
scrotal fluid from abnormal intrinsic scrotal fluid
shifts.
16. Communicating hydroceles
⚫With communicating hydroceles, simple Valsalva
probably accounts for the classic variation in size
during day-sleep cycles. Nonetheless, with the
incidence of patent processus so great, why children
with clinically apparent hydroceles are relatively few
remains somewhat inexplicable. Chronically
increased intra-abdominal pressure (eg, as in
chronic lung disease) or increased abdominal fluid
production (eg, children with ventriculoperitoneal
shunts) probably warrants early surgical intervention.
17. Noncommunicating hydroceles
⚫In noncommunicating hydroceles, the
pathophysiology may occur as a result of increased
fluid production or as a consequence of impaired
absorption. A sudden onset of scrotal hydrocele in
older children has been noted after viral illnesses. In
such cases, viral-mediated serositis may account for
the net increased fluid production. Posttraumatic
hydroceles likely occur secondary to increased
serosal fluid production due to underlying
inflammation.Although rare in the United
States, filarial infestations are a classic cause of the
decreased lymphatic fluid absorption resulting in
hydroceles.
18. Symptoms
⚫Although each child may experience symptoms
differently, the most common symptom is a fluid
mass that is usually smooth and not tender in the
scrotum.
⚫In the case of a communicating hydrocele, the
mass fluctuates in size, getting smaller at night
while lying flat,and increasing in size during more
active periods.
24. ⚫Unlike hernias in infants, many newborn
hydroceles resolve because of spontaneous
closure of the PPV early after birth. The residual
noncommunicating hydrocele does not wax and
wane in volume, and no silk glove sign is present.
The fluid in the hydrocele is usually reabsorbed
before the infant reaches age 1 year. Because of
these facts, observation is often appropriate for
hydroceles in infants.
25. The following factors indicate
hydrocele repair:
⚫Failure to resolve by age 2 years
⚫Continued discomfort
⚫Enlargement or waxing and waning in volume
⚫Unsightly appearance
⚫Secondary infection (very rare)
26. Specific conditions or demographics
and timing of surgery
⚫In full-term infants with no history of
incarceration, schedule surgery as soon as
possible on an outpatient basis.
⚫For preterm neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
infants weighing 1800-2000 g, schedule surgery
before hospital discharge.
⚫For formerly premature infants younger than 60
weeks’ postconceptual age, schedule surgery as
soon as possible with 24-hour postoperative
monitoring for apnea and other anesthesia-
related complications.

29. Drainage
⚫The fluid can be drained easily with a needle and
syringe. However, following this procedure, it is
common for the sac of the hydrocele to refill with
fluid within a few months. Draining every now and
then may be suitable though, if you are not fit for
surgery or if you do not want an operation.
30. Surgery for Hydroceles of the
Cord
⚫Treatment of hydroceles of the cord starts with an
inguinal incision for exposure of the spermatic
cord. After excision of the hydrocele of the
cord, the processus vaginalis is ligated at the
internal inguinal ring.
31. Surgery for Communicating
Hydroceles
⚫Treatment of communicating hydroceles starts
with an inguinal incision for exposure of the testis.
The processus vaginalis is isolated from the
spermatic cord, divided and ligated at the internal
inguinal ring. The distal sac is resected as far as
possible, the end of the sac can be left open.
⚫The contralateral exploration is not a standard
therapy, but is sometimes performed. The
probability for an open contralateral processus
vaginalis in unilateral communicating hydrocele is
50%, but only about 15–22% become clinically
significant.
32. Surgery for Hydroceles of the
Testis
⚫After scrotal incision for exposure of the scrotal
hydrocele, two surgical techniques are available.
The recurrence rate should be below 5% with
either technique, Lord's technique has probably
the lowest complication rate:
⚫Hydrocelectomy with excision of the hydrocele
sac: Winkelmann's technique or Jaboulay's
technique
⚫Hydrocelectomy with plication of the hydrocele
sac: Lord's technique
33. ⚫Operation Winkelmann. This surgical intervention is
one of the leaflets own shell eggs dissect the
anterior surface, turn inside out and stitch the back
of the testicle. At the same time accumulation of fluid
no longer occurs.
⚫Operation Bergman. Part own inner layer shell eggs
are removed, the remaining part of ligated.
Postoperatively appointed antimicrobials and for
some time wearing a jockstrap.
⚫Operation Lord. When this operation is performed
dissection egg shells, release of dropsical fluid and a
so-called corrugation of the tunica vaginalis testis
around. It goes from the surrounding tissue egg is
not released and the wound did not dislocate. This
reduces trauma to adjacent tissues and blood
vessels supplying the testicle.
34. Follow-up
⚫At least one postoperative follow-up visit is
recommended. For small infants, chronic
recurring hydroceles, or patients with
unsuspected intraoperative findings, more
protracted follow-up evaluations may be
warranted biweekly, monthly, or every 2-3 months
to ensure complete recovery and normal
testicular size and architecture.
35. Outcome and Prognosis
⚫Inguinal repairs of communicating hydroceles are
exceedingly successful, with a less than 1%
recurrence rate. If a unilateral approach is
completed, the small but recognized risk for a
metachronous hydrocele or inguinal hernia
developing remains, but the rate is likely less than
10%. Likewise, recurrence after tunica excision is
also uncommon.
