Hydrocele surgery, or hydrocelectomy, is a procedure to remove or treat the fluid-filled sac around one or both testicles that causes scrotal swelling. It is recommended when a hydrocele becomes large, uncomfortable, or fails to resolve on its own, particularly in adults where spontaneous resolution is uncommon. In adults, the operation is most often performed through a small scrotal incision under general or spinal anaesthesia; in children with a communicating hydrocele, a groin incision is used to close the passage connecting the abdomen and scrotum. The procedure typically takes 30 to 90 minutes and is usually done as a day-care admission, with most patients going home the same day. Recovery is generally smooth, with swelling and bruising settling over four to eight weeks.
A small cut is made directly in the scrotum to drain the fluid sac and stitch or remove it — the most common adult approach.
