Patient's question:
The baby has been in poor health this year and has now been diagnosed with hydrocele of the spermatic cord. The doctor said that surgery is the most effective treatment for this condition. Could you please tell me if hydrocele of the spermatic cord surgery is major?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the child has hydrocele, surgical treatment is required to avoid affecting the child's private development and subsequent reproductive function. This surgery is very small, don't worry. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for surgical treatment. The earlier the surgery, the better the recovery. Choose a comprehensive hospital with a third level or higher, or a children's hospital for treatment. The surgery for pediatric hydrocele depends on the specific type of surgery. There are minimally invasive procedures, as well as traditional surgeries. The traditional classic surgery involves making an incision to drain the hydrocele and then re-flip and suture it. This type of surgery is slightly larger. For minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopy is generally used. This surgery is not considered a major operation.
