Article Synopsis
- Hydrocele is caused by fluid accumulation in the scrotum due to a patent processus vaginalis, and this study compares traditional open repair (OR) with laparoscopic repair (LR) techniques in a single medical center.
- A retrospective analysis of 113 patients who underwent hydrocele repair between August 2016 and November 2022 showed that OR was the standard method until late 2021, when LR began to gain preference due to its observed success.
- The results indicated that the recurrence rate for LR was significantly lower at 2.12% compared to 10.6% for OR, suggesting that laparoscopy provides better visualization and can effectively address intrabdominal connections associated with hydrocele.
