saw surgeon due to bulge in scrotum. upon physical exam only, he feels this is a hernia and proposes robotic surgery. is it possible that this is a spermatic cord lipoma and not hernia? if so will the cord lipoma be corrected during such a surgery?

Accepted Answer

See another doctor: This is a question best posed to the attending physician who evaluated you and made a diagnosis. However, I suspect you do not trust the opinion given. You will be best served by returning to the surgeon, expressing your apprehension and obtain clarification or seek out a new surgeon to do another evaluation. Good Luck.
