Objective |
To ascertain the acceptability of minimally access hydrocelectomy through a 2-cm incision and the outcome in terms of morbidity reduction and recurrence rate. Although controversy exists regarding the treatment of hydrocele, hydrocelectomy remains the treatment of choice for hydroceles. However, the standard surgical procedures for hydrocele can cause postoperative discomfort and complications.
Methods |
A total of 42 adult patients, aged 18-56 years, underwent hydrocelectomy as an outpatient procedure using a 2-cm scrotal skin incision and excision of only a small disk of the parietal tunica vaginalis.
Results |
The operative time was 12-18 minutes (mean 15). The outcome measures included patient satisfaction and postoperative complications.
Conclusions |
This procedure requires minor dissection and minimal manipulation during treatment. It also resulted in no recurrence and minimal complications and required a short operative time.
