Effects of scrotal hydrocele over testicular histology.

ABSTRACT

Forty four biopsies were performed on testes during hydrocele operations. They show alteration in 52.2 percent of the biopsies. There is variable effect of size and duration of hydrocele on the morphogenesis of testes. However, size and duration are not the only influencing factors and there is need to analyse the histological changes in hydrocele of different etiology.
