A member asked:

After my non mesh bilat. hernia repair, my scrotum became smaller. is it possible that my hydrocele got fixed during the surgery?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Most likely: Most pediatric urologists ; surgeons fix hydroceles coincident with performing open non-mesh hernia repairs.
