| The canal of Nuck is an abnormal open peritoneal pouch that extends into the female labia majora, first described by Anton Nuck in 1691. In females, hydrocele of the canal of Nuck (HCN) is one of the many causes of inguinal swelling. The canal is the result of obliteration failure. Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a very rare cause of inguinal swelling in female infants and children. It results from the failure of obliteration of the distal portion of evaginated parietal peritoneum within the inguinal canal, which forms a sac containing fluidon physical examination, HCN is frequently misdiagnosed as an incarcerated inguinal hernia, but ultrasonography can easily identify it as a round, hypoechoic lesion. HCN in females is similar to cord hydrocele in males, but it is less common. The aim of this study is to look at the fectiveness of laparoscopic intracorporeal hydrocelectomy with high ligation in treating HCN in children. From March 2016 to August 2016, a retrospective chart review of records of female pediatrics aged 10 years who were treated for inguinal swelling at Multispeciality Hospital in India. Although the number of patients in this study (n 14 26) may appear small when compared to the number of patients in studies on other diseases, the prevalence of HCN in pediatric patients with inguinal swelling has previously been reported to be as low as 1%, whereas I found it in 26 (1.9 percent) of 1300 patients. If more patient data is accumulated, the results can be republished. This series had a mean follow-up period of 30.1 months. Although no patients had recurrences, more time is needed to confirm the results' durability.ddd |
