Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
These lesions grow in the skin and subcutaneous structures of the scrotum. The skin here is thin and mobile, so a man can feel even a small lump himself, and that is usually what brings him to a urologist. A lipoma, an epidermoid cyst and other cysts are hard to tell apart by touch or appearance, so the nature of the lesion is clarified with ultrasound and confirmed by histology.
The scope of surgery is matched to the specific lump. Conventional surgical excision suits large and deep-lying lesions, while laser surgery and radiofrequency ablation suit superficial ones. These two technologies keep blood loss to a minimum, cause less tissue trauma and shorten healing. The operation is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, so you feel no pain during the procedure.
The removed tissue is always sent for histological examination. It is histology that distinguishes an ordinary epidermoid cyst from melanoma and sets further management: for some patients routine follow-up is enough, others need further tests with an oncologist.
MediUkraine puts you in touch with urologists and surgeons at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod who treat this condition. The consultation, the date of the operation and the follow-up check afterwards can be planned in advance, before you arrive.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Surgical excision remains the standard option for removing scrotal lesions. It is performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the size and depth of the lesion. The surgeon removes the lesion within the margins of healthy tissue, which lowers the likelihood of recurrence. The tissue is sent for histological examination, and the follow-up plan is adjusted according to the result.
Laser destruction is suitable for superficial lesions, moles and angiomas of the scrotum. The beam works precisely, barely affecting neighbouring structures, and reduces bleeding during the operation. Healing after laser treatment is quicker, and the mark on the skin is less noticeable.
Radiofrequency surgery removes the lump with radiofrequency waves with high precision. The operation is shorter, post-operative swelling is milder and the cosmetic result is neat. MediUkraine will arrange a consultation with a surgeon at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod who will choose the method for your case.
The first days after removal of a scrotal lesion should be spent quietly, without physical exertion or sport. Local cold, ice for 15–20 minutes several times a day, reduces swelling and discomfort. For 1–2 weeks wear supportive underwear and avoid tight clothing.
Keep the wound clean and dry. The doctor gives you specific rules on hygiene and wound care at discharge. The speed of healing depends on the size of the lesion and how it was removed: primary tissue healing usually takes 7–10 days, complete healing up to 3–4 weeks.
During rehabilitation drink enough fluids, eat healthily and do not skip any antibiotics the doctor has prescribed to prevent infection. Severe pain, inflammation, discharge from the wound or a raised temperature are reasons to contact a doctor the same day, without waiting for the scheduled check-up. If you had the operation far from home, MediUkraine stays in touch with the clinic and coordinates further follow-up.
Surgery covers benign and malignant lesions of the skin and subcutaneous structures of the scrotum: cysts, lipomas, papillomas, naevi and epidermoid cysts (atheromas). The reason may be growth of the lump, pain, a risk of injury or a change in the appearance of the scrotum. Anaesthesia, local or general, is chosen according to the size and location of the lesion; some of these operations are performed on an outpatient basis.
The surgeon removes the abnormal tissue while sparing the neighbouring tissues as far as possible. If needed, the material is sent for histological examination to establish its nature. The wound is closed with a cosmetic suture, which leaves a neat scar and does not slow healing.
Through MediUkraine you can book an appointment with an experienced specialist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
The difference compared with clinics in Western Europe and North America is 60–80%: the same procedure in the USA, Germany or Switzerland costs several times more. Ukrainian urology departments use the same methods, including laser removal, but without a mark-up for the brand name or address of the facility.
Running a clinic in Ukraine costs less because of the general price level in the region, hence a lower final bill for the same work. There is one more factor: you do not need a long stay abroad, as the procedure together with the examination takes 1–2 days with minimal travel costs.
MediUkraine makes arranging treatment simpler: it coordinates appointment dates and documents with the partner clinic in Uzhhorod. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English. Less paperwork means organisational costs do not eat into the savings that brought you here.
The safety of scrotal lesion removal rests on strict adherence to aseptic and antiseptic protocols. Before the operation the nature and size of the lump are clarified with an ultrasound scan, which lowers the risk of misdiagnosis and of repeat surgery.
MediUkraine's partner clinic in Uzhhorod meets the licensing requirements of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Operating theatres are equipped with sterile instruments and systems that control air temperature and humidity. Staff receive specific training in urological surgery and in recognising complications.
Before the operation every patient is examined: blood tests, an electrocardiogram and a consultation with an anaesthetist. Anaesthesia, local or general, is chosen according to the clinical situation. After surgery you have dressings, antibiotics and follow-up check-ups so that any complications are detected early.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
Scrotal lesions are cystic, fatty, fibrous, vascular or epidermal growths that may cause discomfort, swelling or cosmetic changes, or gradually get bigger. Most are benign, but their nature is confirmed by a urologist or andrologist after examination.
The cost depends on the type of lesion and the treatment method:
surgical excision of benign lesions: from USD 212.
Prices in Ukraine are noticeably lower than in the Czech Republic or Turkey.
Citizens of most European countries, the USA, Canada and the UK do not need a visa.
For other countries, the MediUkraine team can advise on the documents required.
Surgery is considered if the lesion:
is growing,
causes discomfort or pain,
changes the appearance of the scrotum,
carries a risk of infection or injury.
The doctor decides on the approach after an ultrasound scan and examination.
Methods used include:
laser removal,
radiofrequency ablation,
surgical excision,
combined techniques for complex lesions.
The choice depends on the structure and location of the lesion.
After laser or radiofrequency treatment recovery takes 1–3 days.
After surgical excision full rehabilitation takes 2–3 weeks.
In most cases, no. The techniques are designed to preserve sensation, testicular function and normal sperm production. Moreover, when a large or painful lesion is removed, comfort and sex life usually improve.
