title: [Treatment of varicocele using a microsurgical technic].
abstract: We operated on 34 patients with varicocele employing microsurgical anastomosis. A direct anastomosis of veins of varicocele with the saphenous vein was performed in 29 patients. Microsurgical spermaticoepigastric anastomosis was performed in 5 patients. The distal stump of the epigastric vein was end-to-end anastomosed with the spermatic vein in one case of type 2 varicocele. Clinical results were satisfactory with varicocele disappearing 33 times out of 34 cases. The shunt between a high regimen pressure with a lower one improve the venous drainage of the testis. These new techniques must be selected according to the pathogenic mechanism of varicocele.
