Results obtained from microsurgical therapy of varicocele.
The microsurgical method of varicocelectomy was performed in 56 patients. In 25 cases the procedure was done because of scrotal symptoms and in 31 cases as a treatment for infertility. Complete regression of varicosities was observed in all the cases including 2 recurrent ones. The conception rate was 56% in the infertility patients excluding azoospermic and severe oligozoospermic ones. This microsurgical method has a good success rate and is also quite satisfactory in terms of its pregnancy rate.
