Hydrocele Surgery
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is Hydrocele Surgery?
Hydrocele surgery, also known as hydrocelectomy, is a medical procedure performed to remove a hydrocele — a fluid-filled sac surrounding the testicle that causes swelling in the scrotum. This condition is common in newborns and adult men and is usually painless, but in some cases, it may cause discomfort, heaviness, or infection.
Hydrocele surgery involves draining the fluid and removing or repairing the sac to prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term relief.
Why is Hydrocele Surgery Done?
Hydrocele surgery is recommended when:
- The swelling becomes large or uncomfortable
- There is pain or heaviness in the scrotum
- The hydrocele does not go away on its own
- It causes difficulty in walking or daily activities
- There is risk of infection or associated complications
- It leads to cosmetic concerns or embarrassment
Who is an Eligible Candidate for Hydrocele Surgery in India?
You may be a suitable candidate for hydrocele surgery if:
- You have persistent scrotal swelling
- The hydrocele has not resolved naturally over time
- You experience discomfort or pain
- There are signs of infection or complications
- The condition is affecting your quality of life
Both adults and children (in certain cases) can undergo this procedure after proper medical evaluation.
Types of Hydrocele Surgery
There are different surgical approaches depending on the severity and type of hydrocele:
1. Open Hydrocelectomy
- Traditional surgical method
- Involves a small incision in the scrotum or lower abdomen
- Fluid is drained and the sac is removed or inverted
2. Laparoscopic Surgery
- Minimally invasive technique
- Uses small incisions and a camera
- Faster recovery and less pain
3. Aspiration with Sclerotherapy (Non-surgical option)
- Fluid is drained using a needle
- Medication is injected to prevent recurrence
- Usually temporary and less commonly used
Diagnostic Tests Done Before Hydrocele Surgery
Before surgery, doctors may recommend:
- Physical Examination
- Ultrasound Scan (to confirm fluid accumulation and rule out other conditions)
- Blood Tests
- Urine Tests
- Transillumination Test (to check fluid in the scrotum)
These tests help ensure accurate diagnosis and safe treatment planning.
