There are various types of techniques used to treat epididymal cyst, which completely depends on the severity of the cyst and doctor’s recommendation. The cost of these surgeries may vary, so it is advised to consult with the urologist before the surgical procedure.
Here are different types of epididymal cyst surgeries performed by the surgeon:
- Aspiration: In this procedure, a needle is used to remove the fluid from the cyst. It is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that provides relief from the discomfort caused by the cyst. The estimated cost of aspiration procedure can range from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 55,000.
- Percutaneous Sclerotherapy: Percutaneous sclerotherapy involves inserting the injection of a sclerosing agent (ethanol) into the cyst to shrink and harden it, preventing fluid from accumulating. The sclerosing agent is aspirated after 20 minutes, and the patient is asked to observe the cyst for the next few weeks. The estimated cost of percutaneous sclerotherapy can range from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 60,000.
- Microsurgical Epididymal Cystectomy: This technique uses an operating microscope to visualize and remove the cyst. It is also a less invasive procedure in which the surgeon makes an incision in the scrotum to carefully separate the cyst from the surrounding tissue and then remove it carefully. This method is chosen for moderate-sized cysts. The estimated cost of microsurgical epididymal cystectomy can range from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 55,000.
- Epididymal Cyst Excision: Epididymal cyst excision includes eliminating a portion of the epididymis along with the cyst. This procedure involves a larger incision in the scrotum. The surgeon removes the cyst along with the affected portion of the epididymis to prevent a recurrence. Excision is usually recommended for larger or more complicated cysts that cannot be removed by cystectomy alone. The estimated cost of epididymal cyst excision can range from Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 80,000.
