Andkosh (Testicular) Surgery – Understanding the Causes & Required Procedures

“Andkosh ka operation” refers to testicular surgery, but the procedure depends entirely on the underlying cause. Different conditions require different surgical approaches.

Possible Causes of Testicular Problems Requiring Surgery

1. Testicular Torsion (Twisting of the Testis)

A medical emergency where blood supply to the testicle stops.
Procedure: Detorsion + Orchidopexy (testis is untwisted and fixed to prevent future torsion).

2. Undescended Testis (Cryptorchidism)

When the testicle has not moved into the scrotum.
Procedure: Orchidopexy (bringing the testis into scrotum and fixing it).

3. Varicocele (Enlarged Veins Around the Testis)

Can cause pain, swelling, or fertility issues.
Procedure: Varicocele Repair (open, microscopic, or laparoscopic method depending on severity).

4. Epididymal Cyst / Spermatocele

Fluid-filled swelling near the testis.
Procedure: Cyst Removal / Spermatocelectomy.

5. Hydrocele (Fluid Around the Testis)

Significant fluid accumulation causing swelling and discomfort.
Procedure: Hydrocelectomy (removal of the fluid sac).

6. Testicular Tumor / Cancer

Requires evaluation by a specialist.
Procedure: Orchiectomy (removal of the affected testis if medically required).

7. Severe Infection or Abscess

Infection can cause pus collection in or around the testis.
Procedure: Drainage surgery or other indicated treatment.
