Removal of epididymal cyst

Removal of an epididymal cyst (spermatocelectomy) is a surgical procedure aimed at excising a benign formation (spermatocele) of the epididymis. The operation is performed when the cyst causes discomfort, pain, or significant enlargement.

When is removal of an epididymal cyst indicated?

• When the cyst increases in size and causes discomfort or pain.
• In cases of inflammation or infection of the spermatocele.
• If the cyst interferes with normal sexual function.
• When there is a risk of rupture due to large cyst size.
• If the lesion causes psychological or cosmetic discomfort.

How is the procedure performed?

1. Diagnostics and preparation – scrotal ultrasound, blood and urine tests are performed.
2. Anesthesia – the operation is carried out under local, spinal, or general anesthesia.
3. Surgical access – the surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum.
4. Cyst removal – the cyst capsule is carefully isolated and excised while preserving the tissues of the testis and epididymis.
5. Hemostasis and closure – bleeding control followed by cosmetic suturing.
6. Postoperative care – rest, supportive underwear, and anti-inflammatory medications are recommended.
