How is Hydrocele Repair done?

Medical Evaluation
  • A thorough physical examination and medical history review by a urologist.

  • Incision: A small incision is made in the scrotum or lower abdomen (inguinal approach).
  • Hydrocele Sac: The fluid-filled sac is identified and removed or drained.
