UROLOGICAL SURGERY

Eversion of the tunica vaginalis for hydrocele

SURGERY

Eversion of the tunica vaginalis for hydrocele

Eversion and resection of the tunica vaginalis of the testicle is a surgical procedure useful for treating the most severe cases of hydrocele, i.e. an abnormal accumulation of transparent fluid in the scrotum. Before performing it, clinical and instrumental tests are necessary, including scrotal ultrasound.

The surgery is commonly performed via the scrotum.

This access route ensures the patient’s prompt recovery and a virtually invisible postoperative scar.
Once the scrotum has been incised and the testis has been reached, the sac of fluid that forms the hydrocele is exposed, mobilized and then removed. After simple excision, the edges of the pouch are sutured, and then the linings of the testicle and the skin of the scrotum are closed.
The patient can be discharged from the hospital 6 hours after surgery,
once verified that the diuresis is valid.

The most common complication of this surgery is the hematoma, which generally the hematoma resorbs spontaneously. In very rare cases it is necessary to drain the hematoma surgically.

Power supply After discharge from the hospital, you can gradually and with common sense resume your usual physical activity. However, it is important to avoid excessive efforts, such as lifting heavy objects or performing intense exercises (gym, golf, tennis, running), during the first 4 weeks following the operation. It is also important to avoid using a bicycle or moped/motorcycle during the same period of time. In fact, this is the time necessary for a firm scar tissue to develop both at the level of the wound and in the areas affected by the surgical act. The wound The points of the skin wound are given with an absorbable thread that dissolves by itself over time, without any need for removal. A small proportion of patients may develop wound infection. This is manifested by the leakage from the wound of clear material (serum) or blood mixed with pus. It is treatable with adequate medications of therapy and possibly antibiotic therapy.

    Dr. Andrea Cocci

    urologist and andrologist

    The decision to dedicate my professional life to urology and in particular to andrological and reconstructive surgery is the result of a deep passion for anatomy , the art of surgery and in general the diagnostic-therapeutic process which leads to the recovery of the patient. Oncological pathology, infertility, erectile dysfunction, penile diseases or simply prostate disorders irreparably afflict not only the individual but also the couple dimension.
