Spermatic Cord Lesion Removal in Windhoek

About this service

Spermatic cord lesion removal in Windhoek is a day-surgery procedure that removes a lump or cyst found along the spermatic cord, the structure that runs from the abdomen down to the testicle. These lesions are often noticed as a small, sometimes tender swelling in the groin or scrotum, and removal is usually recommended to relieve discomfort or to confirm what the lump actually is.

The procedure is generally straightforward and aims to remove the lesion completely while protecting the surrounding structures. Eastgate Clinic performs this surgery in our on-site day theatre.

What to expect

• An ultrasound checks the lump along the cord and rules out a hernia before surgery is planned.
• The lesion is removed through a small incision under anaesthesia while the blood vessels and sperm tube in the cord are protected.
• The removed tissue is examined by a pathologist to confirm it is benign.
• Groin tenderness settles within a week or two, and the wound is checked in our rooms.

Who is it for?

You may be advised to have this if you are dealing with:

• A lump or swelling felt along the spermatic cord or groin
• Discomfort or a dragging sensation near the testicle
• A cyst that has grown or become tender
• Wanting a definitive diagnosis for an unexplained groin or scrotal lump
• A lesion found incidentally on examination or scan
