| Abstract: | In this single-surgeon case series of 92 men, we present the mini-incision and plication (MIP) cure hydrocele technique for the treatment of idiopathic hydrocele. This minimally invasive, open surgical variant achieves the desired eversion and plication with minimal hydrocele manipulation, providing excellent results independent of hydrocele size, with fewer complications and a recurrence rate of <1%. |
