Effective treatment for scrotal swelling with day-care surgical procedures.
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac that causes swelling in the scrotum. It is most common in babies and often resolves on its own. However, if it persists beyond 12 months in babies or 6 months in adults, surgery may be necessary. Hydrocele surgery is a relatively safe and common procedure that usually lasts less than an hour and is performed under general anesthesia. The recommended operation is hydrocelectomy, which involves a subtotal excision of the parietal layer of the tunica vaginalis. Recovery typically takes two or more weeks, and most people return home the same day as the surgery.

Q: What should I provide for hydrocele surgery?
A: Bring reports like scrotal ultrasound, findings from your physical examination, a list of symptoms, and your doctor’s surgical recommendation.
Q: Is surgery always necessary for hydrocele?
A: No. Small, painless hydroceles often don’t need treatment. Surgery is usually done if they cause discomfort, cosmetic concern, or keep enlarging.
Q: What are the risks if surgery is delayed?
A: Risks are generally low, but very large hydroceles can cause discomfort, difficulty with mobility, or rarely, infection.
Q: Can a hydrocele come back after surgery?
A: Yes, though recurrence is uncommon. It usually happens if the fluid sac is not fully removed or if new fluid collects.
Q: What should I expect during recovery from hydrocele surgery?
A: Recovery takes about 1–2 weeks. Some pain, swelling, or bruising is common, but most patients return to normal activities fairly quickly.
