Welcome to City Dermatology Clinic, your trusted partner for scrotal cyst removal in London. Our expert team uses advanced, minimally invasive methods for safe and effective treatment, ensuring a comfortable experience with minimal downtime. We’re committed to guiding you through each stage of your journey, focusing on your health and swift recovery.

Surgical removal is the primary treatment option for scrotal cysts, particularly when they cause discomfort, pain, or are of cosmetic concern. The decision to proceed with surgery is based on symptoms, the cyst’s size, and patient preference. Here are the surgical options available:
 

Surgical Excision

This procedure involves making a small incision over the cyst to remove it entirely. It is typically done under local anaesthesia, and stitches may be used to close the incision. Recovery time is generally short, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. The main advantage of traditional excision is its effectiveness in preventing recurrence, as the cyst is completely removed.

 

Minimal Excision

Aimed at reducing scarring, minimal excision involves a smaller incision than traditional excision. This method may be preferred for cysts located in visible areas or for patients concerned about post-surgical scars. While the recovery process is similar to that of traditional excision, there’s a slightly higher chance of the cyst recurring since the entire cyst wall may not be removed.

Your doctor will thoroughly explain the procedure you’re undergoing, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable with the process. Below is a typical example of what to expect on the day of your treatment for both traditional and minimal excision of a scrotal cyst:

 

Surgical Excision

  1. Upon arrival at the clinic, you’ll be prepared for the procedure. This usually involves cleaning the scrotal area and applying a local anaesthetic to numb the region around the cyst. You’ll be awake during the procedure, but you should not feel any pain.

  2. Once the area is numb, the doctor will make a small incision directly over the cyst. The incision size depends on the cyst’s size but is typically small.

  3. The cyst is carefully separated from the surrounding tissues and removed in its entirety. This is crucial to prevent recurrence.

  4. The incision is then closed with sutures (stitches). Depending on the specific techniques used and the size of the incision, these may be dissolvable.

  5. You’ll be given care instructions for the incision site, including how to keep it clean and dry. Recovery time is generally quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. Any discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

 

Minimal Excision

  1. As with traditional excision, the area around the cyst is cleaned, and local anaesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

  2. The doctor makes a smaller incision than is used in traditional excisions. This method aims to minimise scarring and is often chosen for cysts in more visible areas.

  3. Using specialised tools, the doctor removes as much of the cyst and its contents as possible through the small incision. In some cases, part of the cyst wall may remain to reduce the size of the wound.

  4. The incision may be closed with fewer sutures or sometimes left open to heal naturally. The minimal excision technique often results in less visible scarring and has a similar recovery time to traditional excision. Post-operative care is important to ensure healing and prevent infection.

A scrotal cyst, commonly referred to as an epididymal cyst or sebaceous cyst when occurring in the scrotum, is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the scrotal area, the loose bag of skin under the penis that contains the testicles. These cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and can vary in size, often presenting as small lumps that may or may not cause discomfort. They are most commonly found on the epididymis, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles.

 

Symptoms:

While scrotal cysts often present with little to no symptoms, they can sometimes become noticeable or uncomfortable, especially if they grow in size. Symptoms may include:

  • The most common sign is a painless lump in the scrotum, which can be felt as a small, round mass.
  • Large cysts can cause discomfort or a heavy feeling in the scrotum, particularly when standing for long periods or during physical activity.
  • The scrotum may appear swollen or enlarged, especially if multiple cysts develop.
  • While rare, the area around the cyst may become tender or sensitive, particularly if the cyst becomes inflamed or infected.
