海报摘要

Hydrocele of canal of Nuck in adult females is exceptionally rare. The canal of Nuck is the portion of processus vaginalis in the inguinal canal in women. This is homologous to the processus vaginalis of male anatomy. Although canal of Nuck normally disappears without a trace in the first year of life, if it remains patent, then it can lead to development of indirect inguinal hernia or hydrocele of canal of Nuck. Ultrasonography is the preferred investigation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done to confirm the diagnosis preoperatively. The treatment remains the excision of hydrocele of canal of nuck. We are presenting two cases of hydrocele of canal of Nuck in adult female, one Bilateral and another unilateral which were treated by laparoscopic excision of hydrocele with mesh repair.
