Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts and reports that you have posted it appears that your nephew has congenital Fluid Hernia .

This is common pathology in 5 % of children of this age group and nothing to be worried about it .

The only treatment option is to undergo surgery (Herniotomy).It is advisable to get it done at this age and offers permanent cure .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions
I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

Brief Answer:
It is a simple surgery .Not to be worried at all.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.

This is a very simple open surgery and patient is usually discharged on 3rd post operative day

No device is required and there will not be any problem in future.

Go ahead and get the surgery done at earliest.

I do not know about the charges in Phaltan or Satara but it should not cost more than 10 Thousand Rupees.

You can take help of one of my friend Dr .M.B Phanasalkar who is practicing as Opthalmologist in Phaltan.

Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
