A member asked:
What are the short-term & long-term side effects from surgical excision of the hydrocele? what are the risks&probabilities of the surgical incision?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hydrocele: Most are repaired with a trans scrotal incision and the side effects are minimal as well as the scar. The most common complication is simple recurrence and this can be corrected but often resolves on it's own with time.

See below: Short term risk is post-operative pain, swelling, hematoma formation or recurrent hydrocele. Infection is rare unless a hematoma develops. Damage to adjacent structures such as the testis itself, the vas or epididymis are uncommon long term risks.
