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 examination and, if needed, a scan help confirm the diagnosis before surgery
• The procedure is usually performed under general or regional anaesthesia
• Surgery is generally quick, and most patients go home the same day
• Some swelling and tenderness in the groin or scrotum is normal afterwards
• Your doctor will advise on activity restrictions during recovery

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
