BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of hydrocele as a complication of Wilms tumor (WT) therapy and nephrectomy and to determine whether radiation therapy to the flank increases the risk. We hypothesize that radiation increases the risk of hydrocele formation in patients treated for WT.
METHODS
A retrospective, medical review of the chart was completed on 57 male patients with WT diagnosed between 1985 and 2000.
RESULTS
There is an increased prevalence of hydrocele in males that had a nephrectomy as part of their WT therapy.
CONCLUSIONS
Male survivors of WT are at risk for development of a subsequent hydrocele that appears to be related to their prior surgery.
背景
本研究的目的是评估鞘膜积液作为肾母细胞瘤（WT）治疗和肾切除术并发症的发生率，并确定侧腹放疗是否会增加风险。我们假设放疗会增加WT治疗患者发生鞘膜积液的风险。
方法
对1985年至2000年间确诊的57例男性WT患者的病历进行了回顾性医学审查。
结果
在接受肾切除术作为WT治疗一部分的男性中，鞘膜积液的发生率有所增加。
结论
WT男性幸存者有发生后续鞘膜积液的风险，这似乎与其先前的手术有关。
