If you have the procedure under local anaesthetic there is no<br />

risk to <strong>your</strong> heart and lungs and you do not need to attend the<br />

pre-operative assessment clinic.<br />

There is also a small risk <strong>of</strong> wound infection following the<br />

procedure. The cyst can re-occur elsewhere inside <strong>your</strong> <strong>scrotum</strong>.<br />

Before the operation<br />

• you may be asked to attend the pre-operative clinic<br />

• if you are having a general anaesthetic, you will be advised<br />

when to stop eating and drinking before <strong>your</strong> operation<br />

• if you are taking anti-coagulants (Warfarin, Aspirin or<br />

Sinthrome) please inform the pre-op assessment staff.<br />

What happens on <strong>your</strong> admission day?<br />

• you will be asked relevant information by the nurse and a<br />

doctor<br />

• you may be seen by an anaesthetist<br />

• <strong>your</strong> operation will be explained to you and if you have not<br />

already done this, you will be asked to sign a consent form.<br />
