The testicular hydrocele is a collection of serous fluid around one of the testicles, so that there is a swelling of the scrotum. It is a common problem in new-born babies.
Most cases of hydroceles disappear after the first year of life. However, there are cases that do not disappear spontaneously or cause discomfort or infection, so they will need surgical removal.
Hydroceles that emerged as a result of an inguinal hernia should be removed surgically as soon as possible.

Being trained as one of the fellows of the Andrology and Reconstructive surgery unit at Lyx Institute of Urology was truly an incredible experience!
Coming from the Philippines, where no formal training in andrology and sexual medicine is available, being selected as one of the fellows was a significant milestone in my professional journey.
During my fellowship, I was deeply immersed in various aspects of andrology and sexual medicine. I gained valuable exposure to the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating with specialists such as radiologists specializing in andrology, nurse specialists for low-intensity shockwave therapy, and the world-class surgeons performing prosthetic and reconstructive urology. Apart from the cutting-edge procedures they performed, I was also impressed by the exceptional patient care provided by the nursing team, whose dedication to patient comfort and recovery stood out.
I am immensely grateful to the Lyx Institute for this learning opportunity. Despite cultural differences and language barriers, the team was warm, welcoming, respectful, and eager to share their expertise. I look forward to staying connected and exploring future collaborations, with the hope of bringing the knowledge and skills I gained back to the Philippines to benefit Filipino patients and contribute to the development of andrology and sexual medicine in my home country.

“My training at Lyx has been an exceptional experience. Although I have focused on urogenital prosthetic and reconstructive surgery, I was impressed to see that all urological aspects are integrated into this clinic. Each surgeon has a subspecialty and provides high-level surgical care. This has allowed me, not only an excellent and varied learning experience, but I have also been able to see the excellent and effective patient care. The center also exemplifies the safe use of outpatient surgery without compromising the patient experience or quality of care. Lyx Urology and The Lyx Institution truly embodies the spirit of the medical cutting edge.
The volume and variety of cases I have been able to assist has been impressive. The surgeons are very professional and have been very attentive and considerate to me, it has been a pleasure to work with them. I have learned a lot during my time here and I am happy to have new colleagues and friends. Although Australia is far from Spain, I look forward to our continued contact and collaboration.”

“It was a privilege to be on this fellowship at The Lyx Institution. My experience was wonderful. I am very grateful to the doctors and staff at Lyx, they are highly professional, polite and welcomed me with open arms.
My focus was on Andrology and HoLEP Surgery. The team of doctors is recognized nationally and internationally and it has been an honor to be with them both in the operating room and in consultation.
Lyx is a center of excellence always focused on improvement. I am completely impressed with the high volume of both surgeries and consultations they have. The care and attention to his patients is sublime. Its outpatient surgery center is an example of total efficiency. I am and will be eternally grateful to The Lyx Institution and the doctors that comprise it for giving me the opportunity to complete my training. Not only will I improve my surgical techniques, I will also learn better ways to care for my patients and make my practice more efficient.
I have a very pleasant experience and I hope to improve my professional practice. On a personal level, I made new friends and colleagues for life.“

¡Formarme en la Unidad de Andrología y Cirugía Reconstructiva del Lyx Instituto de Urología ha sido realmente una experiencia increíble!
En mi país, esta parte de la urología no está desarrollada y la formación que recibimos es escasa, por lo que haber sido seleccionado como fellow de The Lyx Institution ha sido un hito importante en mi trayectoria profesional.
Durante mi estancia, he aprendido la importancia de un enfoque multidisciplinario: He tenido la oportunidad de colaborar, no solo con andrólogos de reconocido prestigio internacional, también con radiólogos y enfermeros especializados en Andrología, que además de realizar tratamientos vanguardistas, prestan especial atención a la satisfacción del paciente.
Estoy inmensamente agradecido a Lyx por esta oportunidad de aprendizaje. A pesar de las diferencias culturales y las barreras idiomáticas, el equipo ha sido cálido, acogedor, respetuoso y dispuesto a compartir su experiencia. Espero seguir conectado y explorar colaboraciones futuras, con la esperanza de traer el conocimiento y las habilidades que he adquirido a Filipinas para beneficiar a los pacientes filipinos y contribuir al desarrollo de la andrología y la medicina sexual en mi país de origen.

“Mi formación en Lyx ha sido una experiencia excepcional. Aunque me he centrado en la cirugía protésica y reconstructiva urogenital, me impresionó ver que todos los aspectos urológicos están integrados en esta clínica. Cada cirujano tiene una subespecialidad y proporciona atención quirúrgica de alto nivel. Esto me ha permitido, no sólo una excelente y variada experiencia de aprendizaje, también he podido comprobar la excelente y eficaz atención al paciente. El centro también ejemplifica el uso seguro de la cirugía ambulatoria sin comprometer la experiencia del paciente ni la calidad de la atención. Lyx Urología y The Lyx Institution verdaderamente encarna el espíritu de la vanguardia médica.
El volumen y variedad de casos al que he podido asistir ha sido impresionante. Los cirujanos son muy profesionales y han sido muy atentos y considerados conmigo, ha sido un placer trabajar con ellos. He aprendido mucho durante mi tiempo aquí y estoy feliz de tener nuevos colegas y amigos. Si bien Australia está lejos de España, espero con interés nuestro contacto y colaboración continua”
