SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AND INFERTILITY The Effects of Varicocelectomy on Testicular Arterial Blood Flow: Laparo- scopic Surgery versus Microsurgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results: The mean values of peak systolic velocity, pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) of capsular artery (CA) and intratesticular artery (ITA) decreased significantly after LV and MV, whereas no significant change was observed in end-diastolic velocity. Comparing between two groups, the PI and RI values of left CA and ITA on 3rd month and of ITA on 6 month postoperatively in MV group were significantly lower than those in LV group. LV and MV resulted in a statistically increase in the sperm density, morphology and total motile sperm count. Moreover, the PI and RI values of ipsilateral CA and ITA seemed negatively correlated with sperm quality.

When is a varicocele repair indicated: the dilemma of hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction?
In the past, the indications for varicocelectomy are primarily for infertility with abnormal semen parameters, testicular hypotrophy/atrophy in adolescents, and/or pain. The surgical treatment of varicocele for hypogonadism is controversial and debated. Recently, multiple reports in the literature have suggested that varicocele is associated with hypogonadism and varicocele repair can increase ...
متن کاملPotential role of imaging in assessing harmful effects on spermatogenesis in adult testes with varicocele
Varicocele is characterized by an abnormal dilatation and retrograde blood flow in the spermatic veins. Varicocele is the leading correctable cause of male infertility. Although it is highly prevalent in infertile men, it is also observed in individuals with normal fertility. Determining which men are negatively affected by varicocele would enable clinicians to better select those men who will ...

Varicoceles are present in 15% of the normal male population and in approximately 40% of men presenting with infertility. The preponderance of experimental data from clinical and animal models demonstrates a deleterious effect of varicoceles on spermatogenesis. Testicular temperature elevation and oxidative stress appear to play an important role in varicocele-induced testicular dysfunction, al...

متن کاملSexual Dysfunction and Infertility
Purpose: Due to various reasons, spermatogenesis might not improve after varicocelectomy. Inhibin B, a sertoli cell glycoprotein, has proved itself as a marker of spermatogenesis. In this study, we measured serum level of inhibin B in patients with varicocele and through comparing pre and post operative semen analysis data, we tried to use serum level of inhibin B as a predictor of spermatogene...
