About Epididmal Cyst Excision Bilateral

Epididymal Cyst Excision Bilateral is a specialized urological surgical procedure performed to remove fluid-filled sacs (cysts) from both epididymides. The epididymis is a coiled tube located at the back of each testicle, crucial for sperm maturation and transport. This procedure is typically recommended when cysts become large, painful, or cause significant discomfort or cosmetic concern. Performed by a urologist, often under general or spinal anesthesia, it involves making a small incision in the scrotum to carefully excise the cysts while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue and structures like the vas deferens. The goal is to alleviate symptoms, confirm the benign nature of the cyst, and prevent recurrence, thereby improving the patient's quality of life and testicular health.

Key Highlights

    Effectively relieves chronic scrotal pain, discomfort, and heaviness.Eliminates or reduces a noticeable, sometimes concerning, scrotal lump.Confirms the benign (non-cancerous) nature of the cyst through tissue analysis (histopathology).Minimally invasive approach with small incisions, leading to less post-operative pain and better cosmetic results.Low recurrence rate when performed completely, offering a long-term solution.Performed by a specialist urologist, ensuring precise handling of delicate reproductive structures./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent or severe scrotal pain or discomfort localized to the epididymal area.
  • A large or progressively enlarging cyst causing a palpable, bothersome lump.
  • Patient anxiety or concern about the presence of a scrotal mass.
  • Cyst causing obstructive symptoms or interfering with normal testicular function.
  • When imaging (like ultrasound) cannot definitively rule out other, more serious conditions.
  • Failure of conservative management (e.g., pain medication, supportive underwear) to control symptoms.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including medical history and physical exam.
  • Undergo a scrotal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, map the cysts, and assess both sides.
  • Discuss all current medications with the urologist; may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) several days prior.
  • Refrain from eating or drinking (fast) for 6-8 hours before surgery if general anesthesia is planned.
  • Arrange for transportation home post-surgery and for assistance during the initial recovery period.
  • Shower with an antibacterial soap the night before or morning of the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

  • Common: Temporary scrotal swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort.
  • Infection at the incision site or within the scrotum.
  • Bleeding or hematoma (collection of blood) formation.
  • Damage to adjacent structures like the vas deferens or testicular blood supply, potentially affecting fertility.
  • Persistent or chronic pain in the scrotum (post-surgical pain syndrome).
  • Rare risks include recurrence of the cyst, testicular atrophy, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Immediate post-op: Rest with scrotal support (tight underwear or a jockstrap) and apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
  • Manage pain with prescribed analgesics and avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and sexual activity for 2-4 weeks.
  • Keep the incision area clean and dry; follow specific instructions on showering and dressing changes.
  • Attend a follow-up appointment with the urologist to monitor healing and review pathology results.
  • Gradually resume normal activities as comfort allows, typically within 1-2 weeks for desk jobs.
  • Watch for and report signs of infection (increased redness, fever, pus) or severe pain/swelling immediately.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1 day (often outpatient or 24-hour observation)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for normal activities, 3-4 weeks for strenuous exercise

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
