1. Inguinoscrotal disorders
2. INGUINOSCROTAL DISORDERS Inguinal hernias
Hydroceles
Undescended testicles
Acute scrotum
3. INGUINAL HERNIAS INDIRECT
DIRECT
4. INDIRECT INGUINAL HERNIAS
5. Incidence 1-5% in the general pediatric population
M/F ratio is 8:1 to 10:1
In premature infants : the incidence is higher reaching 30%
6. Associated diseases Cystic fibrosis:15% incidence
Connective tissue diseases
Mucopolysaccharidosis
Children receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis
Children with ventriculo-peritoneal shunt
7. Direct &femoral hernias Very rare
Rarely diagnosed preoperatively
One third of children with direct hernias have operations for indirect hernias
8. Clinical presentation Groin bulge extending to the scrotum which usually spontaneously reduces
Incarceration
Thickened cord
9. Groin bulge
13. IRREDUCIBLE HERNIA 12-17% of patients
30% of infants less than 3 months of age
Two third of cases occur in the first year of life
C/P: pain ;tense swelling: vomiting
14. Incarceration
15. Treatment of uncomplicated hernias Operative repair as soon as possible as an elective procedure
16. HERNIOTOMY
17. Irreducible hernias Rehydration & resuscitation
Sedation & gentle manual reduction followed by operative repair within 24-48 hours- 80%
Urgent surgery
18. hydroceles- Types : communicating :indicating communication with the peritoneal cavity
noncommunicating hydroceles: usually resolves with time
Abdominoscrotal hydrocele
20. PRESENTATION SCROTAL SWELLING
FLUCUATES IN SIZE
TRANSILLUMINANT
21. TREATMENT SPONTANEOUS RESOLUTION IN 1-2 Y
HIGH LIGATION OF THE PROCESSUS VAGINALIS
22. COMPLICATIONS OF HERNIA &HYDROCELE REPAIR Scrotal swelling
Iatrogenic undescended testis
Recurrence: 0-0.8%
Injury to the vas deferens
Testicular atrophy: 1% in elective surgery ; 2-5% in incarcerated hernias
Intestinal injury
Mortality: very rare
23. Undescended testis
24. Incidence Term boys at birth : 3%
Preterm at birth : 33%
1% of all boys at the age one year
25. Classification Palpable testis
Nonpalpable testis
26. Palpable testis True undescended testis
Ectopic testis
Retractile testis
Iatrogenic undescended testis
27. Perineal testicle
28. Nonpalpable testis Intraabdominal
Absent
29. Diagnosis Clinical
Ultrasound
CT- or MRI scan
Technetium scan

30. Underdeveloped hemiscrotum
31. Lap. view
32. Problems with U.D.T Fertility
Malignancy
Inguinal hernia
Torsion
Trauma
Testicular-epididymal fusion abnormality
33. Treatment Orchidopexy by the age of one year
For nonpalpable testis,laparascopy followed by staged orchidopexy
34. ACUTE SCROTUMtesticular torsion
35. Differential diagnosis Torsion testis
Appendicular torsion
Epididymitis/orchitis
Trauma
Idiopathic scrotal edema
Henoch/Schonlein purpura
Tumors
hernia
36. Diagnosis Clinical diagnosis
Doppler ultrasound
Scintigraphy
37. Treatment Urgent exploration
Fixation or excision of involved testis
Fixation of the other testis
