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.
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.
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.
Most patients recover within one to two weeks. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting during the recovery period. Scrotal support and pain management are provided as needed.
If you notice scrotal swelling or discomfort, consult our specialist for a thorough evaluation. Early treatment ensures a smooth recovery and prevents complications associated with untreated hydrocele.
