I presume that you're talking about a scrotal hydrocoele.

Congenital hydrocoele (what your baby probably has) may resolve within the first or year of life when the previously patent processus vaginalis closes spontaneously. That's the reason why the surgeon will still observe the baby every 4-6 months.

It really depends on the cause of the hydrocoele. Remember, not all hydrocoeles are congenital. Most congenital hydrocoeles are not associated with infertility. It may, however, contribute to the development of an hernia if the type of hydrocoele is a "communicating" type.

Surgery is relatively simple and success rate is high with a well trained urologist. :) Most complications are due to the usual risks of any surgery.

Sorry I don't know how much this procedure would cost. It would be best for you to consult a urologist for further questions, both with the condition and the costs of treatment, as they are the ones who do these.
