Hydrolectomy is a surgery performed to remove the sacs of fluid built up around the testicle. These sacs are formed when abdominal juices flow into the scrotum, and even though it is common in infants, it can happen to adults, too, if they aren't careful enough. Being an outpatient surgery, it takes only about an hour to complete and about two weeks to recover. The process is done under anaesthetic, and the patients may require medications to cope with pain post-op. It is advised to use an ice pack for quicker relief. Remember that the swelling will likely increase for a few weeks after the surgery. Taking only sponge baths and avoiding participating in sports or riding a bicycle is vital. Patients aren't allowed to do anything that can potentially harm their groin. Hydrocelectomy is a crucial procedure for an inguinal hernia in infants; it improves comfort and boosts esteem. It is a highly safe surgery with very low risks. Risks may include infections, bleeding, bruising, and swelling.
