The Western snip stitch and tug hydrocelectomy: How I do it

摘要

Introduction:Adult idiopathic hydrocele is a common benign disorder that merits surgical correction when symptomatic. The most popular techniques for repair are plication (Lord’s procedure) or excision and eversion of the tunica vaginalis (Jaboulay procedure). Established complications from these traditional repairs include hematoma, recurrence, and infection. These procedures are performed through a scrotal incision. We describe a novel technique of hydrocele repair with gubernaculum preservation through a subinguinal incision.
