About Epididmal Cyst Excision Unilateral

Epididymal cyst excision unilateral is a surgical procedure performed by a urologist to remove a fluid-filled sac (cyst) from one side of the epididymis, the coiled tube located at the back of the testicle that stores and transports sperm. This outpatient surgery is typically recommended when a cyst becomes large, painful, or causes significant discomfort or cosmetic concern. The procedure involves making a small incision in the scrotum, carefully dissecting the cyst from the surrounding epididymal tissue to preserve fertility, and then closing the incision. It is a definitive treatment that provides relief from symptoms and prevents recurrence on the affected side, with most patients experiencing a quick recovery and minimal impact on testicular function.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent pain or significant discomfort in the scrotum or testicle caused by the cyst.
  • A cyst that is large, palpable, and causes a noticeable swelling or cosmetic concern.
  • Recurrent infections or inflammation associated with the epididymal cyst.
  • Patient anxiety or concern about the presence of the lump, especially if cancer needs to be ruled out (though cysts are typically benign).
  • When the cyst interferes with daily activities or causes a persistent feeling of heaviness.

How to prepare

  • Complete a pre-operative medical evaluation, which may include blood tests and an ultrasound of the scrotum.
  • Discuss all current medications (especially blood thinners) with your urologist; some may need to be temporarily stopped.
  • Fast (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours before the scheduled surgery as advised by your anesthesiologist.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as you will not be able to drive yourself.
  • Shower with an antibacterial soap the night before or morning of the surgery to minimize infection risk.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding or formation of a hematoma (collection of blood) in the scrotum.
  • Infection at the incision site or within the scrotum.
  • Injury to the epididymis or vas deferens, which could potentially affect fertility.
