[Surgical treatment of varicocele in day surgery].
Aim of this study is the comparison between spermatic vein ligature (Ivanissevich technique) and low intrafunicular ligature in the surgical treatment of varicocele. The Authors present two groups of patients (total 61) operated between 1995 and 1999 with the above-mentioned surgical techniques. Apart from the utilized method, they didn't ascertain any improvements in the spermiograms of the patients older than 30 years. The low ligature of the spermatic veins demonstrated the advantages of surgery treatment and lower percentage of relapses.
