Laparoscopic evaluation for contralateral patent processus vaginalis: Part II

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
Between May 1,1992 and August 1, 1995, 599 consecutively treated children under 10 years of age evaluated by the authors for a known inguinal hernia were involved in a prospective protocol to determine whether diagnostic laparoscopy has a place for evaluation of the contralateral inguinal region.

Laparoscopic evaluation for a contralateral patent processus vaginalis: part III

Urology, 1998
Between May 1, 1992 and August 1, 1996, 759 consecutive children younger than 10 years of age were evaluated and treated for known inguinal hernia.

Adopt a wait-and-see attitude for patent processus vaginalis in neonates

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2003
The purpose of this paper is to describe the ultrasonographic findings of the patent processus vaginalis (PPV) in neonates.The patency of the processus vaginalis was examined by ultrasonography in 117 neonates. The ultrasonographic findings, with increment and decrement of the intraabdominal pressure, were categorized into 6 types as follows: type I ...

Demonstration of Processus Vaginalis and Testis on Transuterine Fetal Celiogram

Radiology, 1966
Intrauterine transfusions have been performed since 1963 as a therapeutic measure in erythroblastosis fetalis (1, 3). Prior to the instillation of packed red cells into the fetal peritoneal cavity, accurate needle placement is verified in most of the technics by a test injection of water-soluble contrast material (2). The following case is presented to

Laparoscopy for Impalpable Testes: Significance of the Patent Processus Vaginalis

Journal of Urology, 1994
Laparoscopy often is performed in the evaluation of boys with an impalpable testis. Previously it has been reported that if laparoscopy disclosed a patent processus vaginalis the testis was likely to be present, whereas if the processus vaginalis was closed then the testis usually was absent. This study was performed to examine this association further.

Incidence of contralateral patent processus vaginalis in children with inguinal hernia

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2001
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of contralateral patent processus vaginalis (PPV) in children with inguinal hernia using direct laparoscopic inspection.This study evaluates the incidence and size of contralateral PPVs in 143 children (96 boys, 47 girls) with clinically unilateral indirect inguinal hernia who underwent ...

Zeitschrift fur Kinderchirurgie : organ der Deutschen, der Schweizerischen und der Osterreichischen Gesellschaft fur Kinderchirurgie = Surgery in infancy and childhood, 1989
In 100 postmortem examination on adults whose age at the time of death had been between 21 and 85 years, an only partially obliterated processus vaginalis or Nuck's diverticulum was seen in 29 cases. Whereas in women the peritoneal bulges often represented only pointers to a patent diverticulum, never being longer than 1 cm, in every fourth man there ...

Differences in the morphology of the processus vaginalis with sex and underlying disease condition

Pathology - Research and Practice, 2000
The structures of sacs from boys and girls with inguinal hernia, and from boys with undescended testis or hydrocele were evaluated and compared. Particular attention was directed to determine if a clue helpful in describing the mechanism of obliteration of processus vaginalis (PV) exists.

Diagnostic pneumoperitoneum accurately predicts the presence of patent processus vaginalis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1995
Ninety-four infants with unilateral indirect inguinal hernia underwent repair and diagnostic pneumoperitoneum (DPP). Contralateral groin exploration was performed in all patients including those with a negative DPP result. Thirty-seven (39%) of the 94 patients had a positive DPP result, and 36 of 37 (97%) had a patent processus vaginalis (PPV) on the ...
