[Idiopathic varicocele. Diagnosis and follow-up with CW-Doppler and Echo-Color-Doppler: our experience].
The Authors outline their experience on routine use of Doppler velocimetry in pre- and post-operation studies on patients affected with idiopathic varicocele. This instrumental study, characterized by non-invasive techniques and repeatability, if correctly carried out, allows both accurate identification of anatomical alterations which are at the bottom of varicocele and correct indications for surgical treatment. Moreover the Authors confirm the importance of spermatic veins ligature following the Ivanissevich method in the treatment of male infertility.
