[The treatment of varicocele by microsurgical techniques].
We performed an extensive bibliographic search, and review the alternatives for surgical treatment of varicocele, especially microsurgical techniques. The surgical techniques for varicocele have not suffered much variation over the last years, being their use generalized among urologists. The lower incidence of relapse and secondary hydrocele to lymphatic lesion make retroperitoneal techniques be used less frequently in favour of inguinal or subinguinal techniques, microsurgical or not. For better understanding of the surgical indications and development of techniques we offer some short anatomical and physiopathological comments about varicocele.
