title: [Testicular varicocele. Reason for surgery and recurrence frequency].
abstract: In the period 1979-1989, 63 patients were operated on for testicular varicocele. The study was a retrospective follow-up from case records and from a questionnaire. Thirty-eight had local complaints, 19 were operated on because of infertility and six had an asymptomatic varicocele. 10% had minor, reversible complications. 92% answered the questionnaire and 38% had a personal contact. 21% had recurrence of the varicocele although to a minor degree. In the infertility group, 42% succeeded in conception after operation.
