What is Hydrocelectomy?
Hydrocelectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a hydrocele, a fluid-filled sac surrounding the testicle that causes swelling and discomfort. This condition can occur due to injury, infection, or congenital reasons. Our expert surgeons provide a safe, minimally invasive procedure with quick recovery, ensuring the best care for your health.

What is Laparoscopic Surgeon?
Laparoscopic surgeons refer to a category of specialists who have years of practice in performing laparoscopic surgeries. These surgeons are also called general surgeons who use minimally invasive techniques for performing the surgery. Laparoscopy requires precision to operate on sensitive areas of the abdomen without having full access to the organs, unlike open surgery.
Hydrocele diagnosis
Upon examination, a doctor will attempt to feel the condition of the testicle. Ordinarily, this is not possible, due to the surrounding sac of the hydrocele.
Before performing a hydrocelectomy, a doctor may carry out a procedure called transillumination, which involves:
- Shining a light through the scrotum, looking for fluid, which would indicate the presence of a hydrocele.
- Conducting an ultrasound examination to determine whether the observed swelling is a hydrocele.
- Treating the hydrocele with aspiration, using a needle to drain fluid out of the scrotum.
After a positive diagnosis, a doctor may recommend a hydrocelectomy.
What is the procedure for hydrocelectomy?
The procedure takes place under a general anesthetic. If an infant has a hydrocele that does not go away on its own, surgeons will wait until the child is at least 1 to 2 years old before operating.
The steps involved with a hydrocelectomy depend on whether the hydrocele is communicating or non-communicating:
- Non-communicating hydrocele: Surgeons make an incision in the scrotum, remove the sac, drain the fluid, and close the incision.
- Communicating hydrocele: Treatment is slightly more complicated; doctors make an incision through the groin so that they can treat a hernia, if present, at the same time as removing the hydroceles. Even if there is no hernia, doctors take this approach to prevent a hernia from developing in the future.
Laparoscopic hydrocelectomy
Some surgeons will conduct a hydrocelectomy through laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, inserting a tube equipped with a camera through the abdomen.
In some cases, individuals and their doctors opt for draining the hydroceles, which can be effective. However, this procedure carries a greater risk of the hydroceles returning.
Outlook
A hydrocelectomy requires a general anesthetic, and most people go home a few hours after having the operation. So, it is important to talk to the surgeon about what to expect for themselves or a child during recovery. It is a good idea to find out what, if anything, merits a call to the doctor.
For the first week or so after the procedure, most individuals will experience pain that requires medication. In addition to pain relievers, using an ice pack on the affected area can also help.
Some individuals may need to use special bandages or a drainage tube during their recovery process.
For a few weeks after surgery, swelling may continue. Activity should be limited, depending on the individual’s age and the extent of the procedures performed.
Give children sponge baths, rather than a soak in the tub, for around 10 days after a hydrocelectomy.
For about 3 weeks after the procedure, children should not play with rocking horses, ride bicycles and other straddle toys, or take part in sports.
