Giant hydrocele, fluid collections exceeding 1,000 ml, can cause significant urinary issues. Surgical intervention, such as hydrocelectomy or orchidectomy, effectively resolves these symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Giant hydrocele, defined as hydrocele fluid exceeding 1,000 ml, is a rare condition.
  • Large hydroceles can lead to significant patient discomfort and secondary complications, including urinary difficulties.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of elderly male patients presenting with giant hydrocele.
  • The first patient had a 2,100 ml hydrocele causing urination difficulty; the second had a 1,200 ml hydrocele with testicular atrophy, also causing urinary symptoms.

Findings:

  • Surgical management, including radical hydrocelectomy with scrotal skin reduction and orchidectomy, was performed in both cases.
  • Post-operative outcomes demonstrated marked improvement in urinary symptoms for both patients.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Giant hydrocele requires prompt surgical consideration, even in elderly patients with comorbidities.
  • Effective surgical treatment can significantly alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms associated with massive scrotal swelling.
