    Excision of the Tunica Vaginalis as New Modality for Adult Hydrocelectomy
    Medical Journal of Babylon (2012)

    The present article, describe a new surgical technique for hydrocele. This technique involves total excision of tunica vaginalis sac. This surgical method was different from that of the standard operative procedures-Jabouley's and Lord's. Our technique required no suture material in thin tunica vaginalis sac and running suturing for this with thick sac .Thus the technique appeared to be simple and safe, and minimize the postoperative scrotal and testicular swelling ,which is the most troublesome problem following the standard operative procedures. even when carried out by junior surgeon.

    Overexpression of Aquaporin 1 in the Tunica Vaginalis May Contribute to Adult-Onset Primary Hydrocele Testis
    Advances in Urology (2014)

    To investigate the cause of the adult-onset primary noncommunicating hydrocele testis, protein expressions of water channel aquaporins (AQPs) 1 and 3 in the tunica vaginalis were assessed. Frozen tunica vaginalis specimens from patients with adult-onset primary hydrocele testis and control male nonhydrocele patients were subjected to Western blot analysis for the detection of AQP1 and AQP3 proteins. Paraffin-embedded sections of tunica vaginalis specimens were histochemically stained with anti-AQP1 and anti-AQP3 antibodies as well as an anti-podoplanin antibody to stain lymphatic endothelia. Hydrocele fluid was subjected to biochemical analysis. AQP1 protein expression in the tunica vaginalis was significantly higher in patients with adult-onset hydrocele testis than in the controls. The AQP3 protein was not detected in the tunica vaginalis. Histochemically, AQP1 expression in the tunica vaginalis was localized in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells. The densities of AQP1-expressing capillaries and lymphatic vessels were similar between the tunica vaginalis of the controls and those of hydrocele patients. Sodium levels were higher in the hydrocele fluid than in the serum. In conclusion, overexpression of the AQP1 protein in individual capillary endothelial cells of the tunica vaginalis may contribute to the development of adult-onset primary noncommunicating hydrocele testis as another aquaporin-related disease.
