Hydrocele Surgery
A hydrocele occurs when clear watery fluid accumulates within the protective sac (tunica vaginalis) surrounding the testicle, leading to painless, heavy scrotal enlargement. As the fluid volume increases, patients experience dragging heaviness, discomfort while walking, and hygiene difficulties.
Dr. Majethiya Jalpesh performs gentle, definitive hydrocelectomy (eversion/excision of sac like Jaboulay or Lord’s procedure). Through a small cosmetic scrotal incision, the fluid is drained and the sac is permanently repaired, ensuring zero recurrence and rapid recovery.
