What is Hydrocele Surgery?
Hydrocele surgery (hydrocelectomy) is a common procedure to treat fluid accumulation around the testicles, which causes swelling and discomfort. This condition can be congenital or acquired due to injury, infection, or inflammation. Surgery is recommended when the hydrocele is large, persistent, painful, or affects quality of life.
There are three primary surgical techniques:
- Open Hydrocelectomy – involves a scrotal or groin incision to drain fluid and remove or repair the sac.
- Laparoscopic Hydrocelectomy – a minimally invasive option using a camera and small tools, allowing quicker recovery and less scarring.
- Laser Hydrocelectomy – uses precision laser for excision with minimal bleeding and fast healing.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anaesthesia, lasts less than an hour, and is often done as day-care surgery. Most patients return to light activities within a week and experience complete recovery in 2–4 weeks.
