[Idiopathic varicocele: incidence in 517 subjects].
A sample population of 517 subjects was screened in order to evaluate the incidence of idiopathic varicocele. Subjects were examined clinically and underwent tests using a Doppler flow-meter. Following a brief introduction to the didymoepididymal disease, the findings of the study are reported. In conclusion, the important role of orthostasis as a causal factor leading to the onset of disease in subjects with a predisposition to diathesis is underlined.
