Surgical Treatment Options
Surgery may be recommended for recurrent or complex cases. We offer advanced and minimally invasive techniques based on individual evaluation.
Excision of the Sinus (Open Surgery)
- The sinus and affected surrounding tissue are surgically removed.
- The wound is left open to heal naturally.
- Healing may take several weeks, depending on wound size and care.
- Requires regular wound care and follow-up.
Excision with Closure
- The affected sinus tissue is removed and the wound is closed with stitches.
- In selected cases, an off-midline closure technique may be recommended.
- Stitch removal depends on the surgical technique and healing progress.
- Healing may be quicker than open surgery, but complications such as wound infection or separation can occur.
Laser Treatment
- A minimally invasive treatment option for selected patients.
- The sinus tract is cleaned and laser energy is delivered inside the tract.
- Usually involves smaller openings rather than a large surgical incision.
- May allow less postoperative discomfort and a faster return to daily activities.
Complications
- Recurrent infections
- Abscess formation
- Multiple sinus tracts
- Rarely, chronic infection spreading to nearby tissue

What is hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a collection of fluid
around a testicle inside the scrotum.
It usually causes painless swelling
and may affect one or both sides.
Hydroceles can occur in infants
as well as adults.
What are the causes of hydrocele?
Hydroceles in infants often occur
when a passage between the abdomen
and scrotum does not close completely.
In adults, hydroceles may develop
following injury, inflammation,
or infection. Sometimes no specific
cause is identified.
What are the symptoms of hydrocele?
The most common symptom is painless
swelling of the scrotum. Some patients
may experience heaviness, discomfort,
or swelling that changes in size.
Sudden or severe testicular pain
requires urgent medical evaluation.
How is hydrocele treated?
Treatment depends on the patient's
age, symptoms, and hydrocele size.
Some hydroceles in infants resolve
without treatment. Persistent or
symptomatic hydroceles may require
hydrocelectomy. Aspiration or
sclerotherapy may be considered
in selected adults after specialist
evaluation.
How long does recovery take after surgery?
Many patients can gradually resume
light activities within a few days,
while swelling and discomfort may
take several weeks to settle.
Full recovery varies depending
on the procedure and individual
healing. Follow your surgeon's
advice about work, exercise,
and other activities.
