[Role of varicocele in male sterility].
After they had analysed 50 cases of varicocoele the authors decided to put in writing some of their ideas. They conclude that varicocoele is often sub-clinical, localised to the right side, bilateral only in a number of cases. Although neither the sperm count nor the histology of the testes show specific pathological features, treatment of the condition brings worthwhile rewards. About 40% of patients father pregnancies.
