Operation of a hydrocele. Yiloren Tanidir submitted this description: After delivering the testicle through an incision in the tunica, the majority of the sac is then resected, leaving a small cuff along the borders of the testicle. After everting the remnant, bleeding may then be controlled rapidly by a running suture closing the free edges around the cord structures. Operation of a hydrocele without resection of the hydrocele sac is known as Lord’s procedure.
