Article Abstract
Introduction: The development of a penile hydrocele following the placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) for erectile dysfunction has never been documented. We herein report an unusual complication of penile hydrocele formation that developed following placement of an IPP for erectile dysfunction.
Methods: The penile hydrocele was successfully repaired by excision of the hydrocele sac.
Results: Successful surgical repair of a penile hydrocele was accomplished following placement of an IPP without removal of any implant components. The penile implant was functional at the end of the procedure as well as at all scheduled follow-up appointments.
Conclusions: With advances in both surgical techniques and improved devise technology, high volume penile implanters encounter fewer IPP-related complications such as infectious or mechanical complications. We herein report for the first time a rare complication of penile hydrocele development after IPP placement that was treated successfully with surgical excision of the hydrocele sac. Urologists who perform these types of procedures should be aware of this unusual complication and know that it is curable with prompt diagnosis and meticulous surgical repair.

We present four cases of male genital schistosomiasis (MGS) within children and adolescents opportunistically encountered as part of a wider screening programme for imported schistosomiasis in Germany and community outreach screening in Mali. Such genital manifestations in young children and adolescents are often overlooked but can include hydrocele, hypogonadism, varicocele, cutaneous granulomata on the penis and scrotum, echogenic spots in the prostate and the epididymis, alongside testicular masses. Though these cases appear sporadic, from our scoping literature review, they draw fresh attention on MGS in young children and highlight wider confusion with other congenital, neoplastic and infectious disease.

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.
