And which operation calms the dogs aggression down? I wasn't told at the vet that there was a difference and what if i've chosen the wrong 1? I'm confused?

There is NO operation that calms a dogs aggression only training wil lhelp with that..neutering is neutering period..there are no different types so this would be why you weren't told that there is a difference.
For a few days after neuter surgery the sac may appear "full" or swollen..this is perfectly normal..this is simply fluids and blood that will soon be absorbed by the body and over time the sac will shrink.

You have to ask your vet why his sack feels full to you. Maybe it's just "less full" and you don't realize it. I doubt you felt it before his surgery. The outer sack is never removed. What is removed is the inner organs that produce the sperm.
Neutering calms the dog, but it takes several weeks for the hormone levels to drop. It's the hormone levels that pump up the aggression, however, aggression does NOT disappear totally. An aggressive male will be less aggressive, but not totally lacking in aggression. That takes training on your part.
I'm confused.
Your phrasing is unclear as to what it means when you say "if i've chosen the wrong 1"...
If you mean did you choose the wrong vet, any vet can do the surgery right.
If you mean did you choose the wrong surgery, the answer is no. You just have incorrect expectations of what the surgery does.

Sounds to me like this dog has just been neutered. If the scrotum is still swollen, he has an infection. He needs to be taken back to the vet to get antibiotics. The vet should not charge for the return visit, but will charge for the antibiotics. The scrotum may need to be reopened so it can drain and heal from the inside out. This is a common problem with dogs and cats after surgery. Don't let this go, as the dog will become very sick.
Neutering is a good choice and one that will soon become mandatory under law. Every dog over 4 months of age will have to be altered, or the owner will face a stiff fine or imprisonment. There are way too many animals now without homes. Be assured that you made the right decision.

You have not chosen wrong, the sack will slowly shrink, you should have a date to go back and get the stitches removed, ask your vet about any worries you have then, if your dog is too swollen and in pain phone your vet for some pain killers, but he/she should have given you some already.

Check the paper work sent home by the vet and it should list the type of surgery on there, or possibly on the receipt. If you no longer have that then you need to call your vet. If he was neutered they should be visibly flatter and start to look like raisins, and if they look full and solid then he needs to go back in. Something is wrong.
Yes, neutering will calm them down.

Your dog obviously only had a vasectomy and his testicles were left alone which is what is in the sack. As for the calming the dog down you need to speak to the vet but I would say that possibly only age will do it for him.

The sack stays, it will develop back after some time.
Best not to touch it, as it is still ery sensitive.

Did you get the testicles removed, or did you just get a vasectomy?
If you had the testicles removed, any fluid in the sacs is not a good sign, bring him back to the vet.
If you had a vasectomy, all you did is make him sterile, but horny.
