Fluid accumulation after a hydrocelectomy can occur due to several factors, including the body's natural healing response, which may lead to the production of fluid in the surgical area. Additionally, incomplete drainage of the serous fluid or irritation of the surrounding tissues during surgery can contribute to fluid buildup. Infection or complications such as lymphatic obstruction may also play a role in post-operative fluid accumulation. Monitoring and, if necessary, further intervention may be required to address this issue.

Since a hydrocelectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a pocket of fluid from the testes, the interventions would include those typical of surgical patients.

Once finished, the doctor will suture the tissue and skin shut. A couple that come to my mind are infection prevention (appropriate wound care etc), patient education (and family), and pain management.
