title: Adolescent varicocele.
abstract: The evaluation and management of adolescents with varicoceles continue to evolve. Current recommendations for repair are based on the findings of impaired testicular growth or spermatogenesis; however, with early evaluation and selective treatment, clinicians should be able to reduce the potential for future fertility problems significantly in adolescents with varicoceles.
