Hydrocelectomy

What is Hydrocelectomy?

Hydrocelectomy is a surgical procedure to drain and remove excess fluid from the sac surrounding the testicle. It is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Swelling or enlargement of the scrotum due to fluid buildup.
• Discomfort or heaviness in the testicles.
• Pain or difficulty with daily activities caused by the hydrocele.
• Persistent hydrocele that does not resolve on its own.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• A small incision is made in the scrotum or lower abdomen to drain the fluid.
• The sac is sutured or reshaped to prevent fluid from re-accumulating.
• The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, and most patients can return home the same day with post-operative care instructions.
