ABSTRACT
The hydrocele is overall a rare condition in urology. A differentiation between primary and secondary hydrocele is essential for further treatment. A primary hydrocele with a patent vaginal process tends to spontaneously regress in the first 2 years of life in newborns. If treatment is necessary, open as well as laparoscopic methods are available with good results. The treatment of scrotal pathologies, especially secondary hydrocele, often poses a challenge in the clinical practice. Despite the benign nature, supposedly simple surgical techniques and good chances of healing, postoperative complications are frequent. In comparison to open surgery, sclerotherapy provides a good alternative for the treatment of secondary hydrocele.
