Patient's question:
Hydrocele, varicocele, how to treat?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele and varicocele require surgical treatment. Congenital hydrocele cannot be treated with the two methods mentioned above. Surgical treatment is the main approach. The goal of the surgery is to perform high ligation of the hernia neck at the internal ring to block the downward flow of abdominal fluid. The following hydrocele sacs can be left untreated. In the case of spermatic hydrocele, the sac containing the fluid can be completely peeled off. If peeling is difficult, the sac wall can be incised, and a turn-over suture technique can be performed. The effective surgical method for testicular hydrocele is hydrocelectomy with turn-over suture.
