Patency is the condition of being open. The processus vaginalis is a tube leading from a man's pelvis into the scrotum, but it should close before birth. If it doesn't a hydrocele may form.
Both the singular and plural form of this word is "processus", it does not differ.

Vein patency is openness of the vein to allow blood to pass through. If the vein is patent, it is not blocked.
Normal anatomyDuring development, the scrotal cavity in boys is connected to the abdominal cavity via a structure called the processus vaginalis. The processus vaginalis usually closes at birth, or soon after.IndicationsWhen the processus vaginalis does not close, or closes after fluid from the abdomen has become trapped in the scrotal cavity, it is called a hydrocele. The canal (inguinal canal) between the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) and the scrotum remains open. Fluid from the peritoneum enters the canal and the scrotum, and causes swelling of the scrotum. In some cases, bowel can also pass through the processus vaginalis into the scrotum. This is called an inguinal hernia. If a hydrocele persists past the first six to 12 months of life, it should be surgically repaired. Inguinal hernia in infants is usually repaired within the first three months of life. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish a hydrocele from an inguinal hernia on exam.ProcedureWhile the baby is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made just above the groin. The open canal between the abdominal cavity and scrotum (inguinal canal) is repaired, the fluid is removed from the scrotum, and the incision is closed.AftercareSurgery usually completely corrects the defect, and the long-term prognosis is quite excellent. Hydrocele repair is done on an outpatient basis and recovery is usually brief. Most children can return to normal activity within about four to seven days.Reviewed ByReview Date: 09/03/2010Linda J.

Patency refers to the condition of being open, unobstructed or free of blockages. It is often used in the medical context to describe the openness of blood vessels, airways, or other tubular structures in the body.
Patency means openness. Having open blood vessels is a good thing; it means they're not blocked.

Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasite that feeds on various nutrients present in the vaginal secretions of its host, particularly glucose and amino acids, to survive and multiply in the human reproductive tract.
IV patency should be checked regularly, typically at the beginning of each shift and before administering medications or fluids. Additionally, it’s important to assess patency whenever there are changes in the patient's condition or if the IV site appears swollen or painful. Routine checks can help prevent complications such as infiltration or phlebitis. Always follow the institution's protocols for specific guidelines on IV patency checks.

None. But there are two types of inguinal herniae (or hernias): direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents herniate through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring; this is ultimately caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis.
