Gross Hydrocele With Completely Buried Penis: A Case Report.

A gross hydrocele is caused by fluid accumulation within a layer wrapped around the testicle, called the tunica vaginalis, derived from the peritoneum. A 65-year-old male complained of a non-tender, fluctuant bulge in his right scrotum despite having a fully buried penis, a large hydrocele, and urinary retention. After ultrasonography, the diagnosis was confirmed, and the patient underwent a successful surgical procedure that included a hydrocelectomy and tunica vaginalis excision. The patient reported few postoperative complications and a notable improvement in his quality of life. Surgery is a successful approach for treating gross hydrocele, with minimal morbidity and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
