Hydrocele Surgery
Safe, permanent relief from scrotal swelling with expert hydrocelectomy — day-care procedure, minimal scarring, and full cashless insurance support.
Understanding the Condition
What is a Hydrocele?
A hydrocele is an abnormal accumulation of fluid inside the scrotum, typically surrounding the testicle. It presents as a smooth, painless swelling that may vary in size throughout the day or become progressively larger over time.
Hydroceles are classified as communicating (connected to the abdominal cavity, common in newborns) or non-communicating (isolated fluid pocket, common in adults). In adults, secondary hydroceles can arise from infection, injury, or testicular tumours.
Surgical hydrocelectomy — excision or eversion of the fluid sac — provides a permanent cure. The procedure is performed as a day-care surgery and carries excellent outcomes with very low recurrence rates.
