Is Hydrocele The Side Effect Of Kidney Surgery?

I donated a Kidney (left side) few years back....shortly after i had swelling in my left testicle. I then had ultra sound done and turns out i have a Hydrocele on left testicle. I have looked into causes of Hydrocele at later ages...(i am 53) and generally its from injury or surgery? I went back to Kidney doctor and he believes its not from the Kidney surgery? I beg to differ. I complained of uncomfort from the onset after my surgery.
