[Pulsed duplex sonographic follow-up of varicoceles following sclerotherapy].
Forty-one patients were examined by pulsed duplex sonography immediately before and then one, four and twelve weeks following sclerotherapy of a varicocele. The severity of the varicocele was determined by sonography before treatment and confirmed by phlebography. Sonographic follow-up showed reduction, or disappearance, of the varicocele in 78% of cases. Doppler examination confirmed successful treatment in 85% of patients. Pulsed duplex sonography, combining a non-invasive imaging method and a functional technique, is well suited for the follow-up of varicoceles after treatment.
