title: Results obtained from microsurgical therapy of varicocele.
abstract: 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.
