Infected hydrocele following laparoscopic appendectomy: case report.
In the literature, specific reported complications after laparoscopic appendectomy include bowel injury, hemorrhage, wound infection, and cecal fistula. We report the occurrence of infected hydrocele after laparoscopic appendectomy in a 20-year-old man. This complication, to our knowledge, has not yet been described in the literature.
