"A Hydrocele is the accumulation of fluid around the testicle. This will cause severe pain and discomfort in the scrotum. Hydrocele formation is very common in male children, mostly in newborns. Hydrocele Repair is the surgical removal of the hydrocele. This method is also called Hydrocelectomy. Most of the times a hydrocele cures by itself without treatment. Hydrocele Repair will shrink the size of the hydrocele by draining the fluid from it."

"The following are the advantages of Hydrocele Repair:

Hydrocele repair is the minimally invasive procedure with fewer cuts and incisions.
