HYDROCELE OPERATION : A hydrocele is a pocket of watery liquid that has built up around your testicle. Sometimes this is because the testicle is diseased. More often it is because the liquid cannot drain into the circulation properly.
A Hydroceleoperation is usually done under a general anaesthesia. A cut is made into the skin over the hydrocele. The liquid is emptied out. Some of the liquid is checked for possible infection or cancerous cells. The testicle is examined. After this, the double coverings of the testicle are stitched up to stop the liquid building up again. If the testicle is diseased, it may be necessary to remove it. Finally, the skin is stitched up.
