title: Laparoscopic varicocelectomy with lymphatic preservation using methylene blue dye.
abstract: A novel technique is described herein to perform a laparoscopic varicocelectomy using the high-ligation modified Palomo technique. The variation in this case is the preservation of lymphatic drainage by intraoperative identification of the lymphatics using intratesticular injection of methylene blue dye.
