Abstract:
Surgery is the gold standard of hydrocele treatment; it is indicated in case of functional disorders. The two principal techniques are Lord's plication procedure, and excision. Main complications consist in potential haematoma and injury to epididymis, vas deferens or cord structures. Two other techniques exist, but with limited indications: fenestration which puts in contact the sac with lymph-rich subcutaneous tissues, and sclerotherapy.
