    Abstract

    Surgical procedures for hydrocele carry a significant morbidity rate from haematoma formation. Lord's procedures (n = 26) were performed for primary hydrocele as outpatient operation. Peroperative drain was put in one case (3.85%). Postoperative complications were negligible except scrotal oedema in 3 cases (11.53%), which required no specific treatment. No recurrence was noted till one year of follow-up. It is concluded that Lord's procedure is simple, effective, safe and economical technique.
