Can you rip or tear your sutures inside your scrotum after hydrocelectomy?
I had hydrocelectomy surgery 38 days ago on the right testicle. 250milliliters of fluid removed and sac was cut out.
I have a egg shaped trans lucent cyst on top of my right nut and has been since 7 days post op. Could this be from ripped stitches? Do I have a spermatocele now after Hydrocele surgery? I’ve seen two urologist and both say it’s just swelling
But it hurts and swelling shouldn’t trans illuminate in a pocket on the testicle should it?

Had Ultrsound 2-26-2019 and it was determined that I have a small hydrocele that sits on top of my right nut. I guess where the hydrocele sac was trimmed back and sutured didn't hold very well. The problem is Urologist will not operate again for 90 days after surgery. they say I still need time to heal before second surgery. The doctor also told me because the hydrocele sits at the top of testicle near spermatic cord and veins I will have to sign a waiver because now their is a good possibility I could lose my right testicle? I've had the worst hydrocele complications I've ever heard of.
Hello and welcome to MedHelp's forums. We are very sorry to hear that there have been complications to your surgery and you face the possibility of losing a testicle with the next one. Please remember that a possibility does not mean that it will absolutely happen. But good to be prepared that it might. Again, very sorry about this poor outcome to your original surgery. I'm sorry that it causing you pain but do think it is best to follow your doctor's recommendations regarding the 90 days post surgery before undertaking another one. With the complication factor, surgery too quickly could make that issue even worse.
You sound like you have been very diligent in your own care and unfortunately, sometimes we have to be. It was fairly rare that you, as an adult male, even got a hydrocele in the first place with only about 1 percent of adult men having this happen. That statistic is meaningless for you since you are part of the 1 percent. The reasons they happen in adults are a bit different than infants and I am not sure if they ever found the underlying cause for you. And if that cause was addressed. If it wasn't, a good question for your doctor is if this contributes to the newly discovered hydrocele. Of course, they often happen because of trauma and that is difficult to prevent (wearing a cup during sports endeavors and defensive moves, I guess, are important).
For our readers, here is an overview of this diagnosis and surgery https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/16232-hydrocelectomy.
One other thing to note with regards to waiting, often hydrocele's do not require treatment. The pain you feel may subside and then you can decide if surgery is necessary if you are pain free.
We wish you the best and please keep us informed.

I see a urologist March 18, 2019 and I will give updates on what he says will be my next option for the Hydrocele that returned 8 days post op. It’s not big but sits near top of right testicle and is bothersome when it’s cold. I wish it could be aspirated but I’m sure the doctor will elect to have surgery. I can’t find a urologist in Mississippi willing to do aspiration anymore?
