Sign of the fox.
A 47-year-old male and his 34-year-old wife presented with two years of infertility. He had poor semen quality and a low serum testosterone. Physical examination revealed a grade 3 left and a grade 2 right varicocele. He underwent bilateral subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy. The "sign of the fox" is the typical appearance of the wounds just prior to closure after bilateral repair.
