Hydrocele Surgery

Hydrocele Surgery

Hydrocele surgery is a safe and effective procedure to treat the accumulation of fluid around the testicle, causing scrotal swelling. Surgical treatment provides a permanent solution and relieves discomfort, heaviness, and cosmetic concerns associated with hydrocele.


What Is a Hydrocele?

A hydrocele is a collection of fluid in the thin sheath surrounding the testicle, resulting in scrotal swelling. It can occur in newborns or develop later in life due to injury, infection, or inflammation. While often painless, large hydroceles can cause discomfort and require treatment.


Common Symptoms

  • Painless swelling of one or both testicles
  • Feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
  • Discomfort or dull ache in the groin
  • Visible enlargement of the scrotum
  • Swelling that may increase throughout the day

Hydrocelectomy Procedure

Hydrocelectomy is the surgical removal or drainage of the hydrocele sac. The procedure is performed under anaesthesia through a small incision in the scrotum or groin. The fluid is drained and the sac is either removed or repositioned to prevent recurrence.
