Winkelmann Operation. Prices, Reviews, Ratings
General information
The occurrence of hydrocele is associated with an increase in the produced fluid. This occurs due to the occurrence of any inflammatory processes occurring in the testicular membranes.
Currently, in surgical urology, the most widespread are two types of operations that are used to treat hydrocele:
- Bergman operation;
- and Winkelman operation.
The essence of these operations is to successfully eliminate hydrocele and further prevent the possibility of this disease.

Preparation
Before any operation in question, a full examination of the patient is carried out. The doctor prescribes blood tests, as well as an ultrasound of the scrotum.
The Winkelmann-Bergmann operation
The Winkelmann and Bergmann operations involve local anesthesia for adults and general anesthesia for children.
Winkelmann operation. An incision of about 5 cm is made on the surface of the scrotum above the place where the fluid accumulates. Then, the serous fluid is evacuated from the scrotal cavity, the testicular membranes are dissected, and they are everted around the testicle. At the last stage of the operation, the membranes are sutured on the arc side.
Bergmann operation. An incision is also made on the surface of the scrotum. Next, the testicular membranes are dissected and the serous fluid is evacuated. Then, the vaginal membrane of the testicle is excised and the remaining membrane around the testicle is sutured, and the scrotal membranes and skin are sutured layer by layer. In this case, a small drainage is left in the wound.
