Vaginal hydrocele is one of the common reasons for surgical outpatient consultation. Surgery for vaginal hydrocele i.e. eversion of vaginal sac (EVS) is common elective intermediate operation mostly performed under local anesthesia. The aim of this study is to share vaginal hydrocele surgery in Lumbini Provincial Hospital (LPH), Butwal. This is a retrospective analysis of vaginal hydrocele surgery done over a period of five years (2012 to 2016) in LPH, Butwal was done after the approval from Hospital ethical committee. All required information was retrieved from the medical record section. Total 164 vaginal hydrocele surgery was done for different sizes during the study period. The number of cases increased in 2016 because of free hydrocele surgery programs conducted by government of Nepal was well informed to ordinary people. The age distribution of the operated patients was 15 years to 92 years and common in productive age (21-60 yrs) i.e. 78%. Most of the hydrocele surgeries were done under local anesthesia i.e, 129 (78%). Most common complications found post operatively were 2.5% haematoma, 7.5% surgical site infection (SSI), 10% scrotal oedema and 2% recurrence. In our study chylocele was found in 10 (6/9%) cases of hydrocele. No testicular malignancy and tuberculosis of epididymis found during study period. No fatality cases during our study period. Vaginal hydrocele surgery is one of the common intermediate and mostly day care elective surgery done under local anaesthesia with relatively satisfactory outcome in LPH, Butwal.
