No: As with any procedure like removing a hydrocele anything can occur. With this kind of procedure the risk is very low in the hands of a urologist.

A very safe ...: Under experienced hands, it is a very safe effective surgery to correct hydrocele with very tolerable postoperative pain. But, still remember: nothing is free but comes with a price. So, it is not dangerous as long as one is willing to cope with reality.
