Surgery

A hydrocele is a fluid collection between the parietal and visceral layers of the tunica vaginalis of the testis, typically confined to the scrotum. It can be classified as congenital or acquired, with primary hydroceles being idiopathic and bilateral, while secondary hydroceles have an underlying cause and are often unilateral. Diagnostic features include swelling of the scrotum that is not reducible and cystic in nature, with potential complications if untreated, such as hernia, rupture, and testicular atrophy.
