Abstract
ⶠMicrofilaria of Wuchereria Bancrofti are injected into the blood stream of man by the bite of the anopheles mosquitoe. ⶠThe Microfilaria mature in the lymphatics of the genitourinary tract into adult worms. ⶠThe adult worms cause dilatation of the genitourinary lymphatics. ⶠThe dilated genitourinary lymphatics eventually lead to formation of Filarial Hydrocele. ⶠFilarial hydrocele is operated using the technique of total tunical resection without drainage.
