[The laparoscopic treatment of varicocele--a technical note].
After a short exposure of the main clinical and anatomical aspects of the varicocele, as arguments for a wider surgical indication, the authors present the technique of laparoscopic varicocelectomy. The operation implies general anesthesia and may be performed by transperitoneal or properitoneal approach--similar to laparoscopic hernia repair. The main step is the dissection, clipping or bipolar coagulation and section of the varicose spermatic veins.
