title: [Recurrence rate after varicocelectomy in infertile men].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To detect the recurrence rate of varicocele in infertile men with varicocelectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty of 94 infertile patients with varicocelectomy were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We found 60% recurrence of varicocele infertile men with varicocelectomy. The mean time after varicocelectomy was five years for the patients with recurrence, and seven years for patients without recurrence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Doppler sonography is a useful imaging modality in the examination of post-varicocelectomy infertile men without successful impregnation.
