Laser hydrocele surgery is an advanced surgical procedure done to drain a hydrocele with the help of a laser beam. This procedure is also known as laser hydrocelectomy.
Testis or testicles are two oval egg-shaped sex organs that play a vital role in the male reproductive system. They are around 4 to 5 cm in length and 2 to 3 cm wide and increase in size through adulthood and gradually decrease later in life due to a natural decline in testosterone (male hormone). They are present outside the body in a pouch called the scrotum. Their location outside the abdomen ensures optimum temperature and environment for the sperm cells to develop.
Within the scrotum, the testis is suspended from the abdomen by a collection of blood vessels, nerves, and ducts, known as the spermatic cord. This cord supports the health and function of the tests.
The testis is made up of several lobes that contain a network of narrow tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules produce sperm by a process known as spermatogenesis. Further, these sperms pass to a tightly coiled tube on each testicle called the epididymis. This is where the sperm cells are stored and get completely mature.
The two primary functions of tests are as follows:
There is no drug to treat hydrocele, although pain medication administration can help prevent any discomfort. Laser hydrocele surgery is generally recommended for treating hydrocele when it becomes complicated or symptomatic. This surgery can be performed for any kind of hydrocele including communicating and non-communicating hydrocele.
