Guidance: The purpose of surgery is to elevate the hernia neck at the internal ring and ligate the peritoneal fluid drainage. The following hydrocele sacs may not be addressed. Hydrocele is rarely recurrent after surgical treatment. We have observed cases of postoperative hydrocele. We believe the main reason for recurrence is misdiagnosing congenital hydrocele as simple hydrocele, leading to tunica vaginalis manipulation without elevation. Continuous leakage of peritoneal fluid forces epithelial cell regeneration, resulting in recurrence. Other cases may be due to incomplete removal of multilocular hydrocele, but such cases are extremely rare.
