    Chronic Urinary Retention (CUR) can be either asymptomatic or associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. There has been no report of case of CUR presented with unilateral scrotal swelling. In the present report, a 69-year-old man came with an abdominal distension and left scrotal swelling. He was initially diagnosed with ascites secondary to a possible malignancy. A diagnosis was established after a computed tomography (CT) scan was done that revealed a giant bladder distension with volume of 10.1 litres. The left scrotal swelling was resolved after catheterization was carried out. There was a possibility that the patient had inferior vena cava obstruction secondary to the huge bladder.

    BACKGROUND: A surgical audit study among Batu Pahat population was conducted in determining the commonest position of appendix in post appendectomy.

    METHODOLOGY: This is a retrospective study. A total of 204 cases of patients underwent an appendectomy admitted to the surgical ward from January 2017 until January 2018 at Hospital Sultanah Nora Ismail (HSNI) were audited retrospectively.

    RESULTS: This findings showed different figures of ascendancy in gender among patients who underwent an appendectomy with females 58.8% and males 41.2%. The perforation rate was 40.7% and delay in diagnosis was found to be 19.1%. The perforated appendix had a significantly higher incidence in males with a correlation of p-value 0.04. Retrocaecal appendix (RA) remained the commonest position for patients who underwent an appendectomy with 26.9%. RA is associated with an increased incidence of perforation (p-value 0.01).

    CONCLUSION: The position of appendix in our patients who underwent an appendectomy is parallel to the reports available globally in that it is retrocaecal followed by retroileal as the commonest position among residence of Batu Pahat.
