Varicocele is primarily tortuous dilation of the internal spermatic vein [ISV] and pampiniform plexus in scrotum. It’s most common correctable cause infertility. It has a higher prevalence primary secondary infertility men. In this article, we reviewed advantages disadvantages microscopic intermediate sub inguinal [MISV] varicocelectomies over conventional surgical methods. Although various mec...

OBJECTIVES To explore the role that virtual reality training might play in the learning curve of laparoscopic varicocelectomy. METHODS A total of 1326 laparoscopic varicocelectomy cases performed by 16 participants from July 2005 to June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The participants were divided into 2 groups: group A was trained by laparoscopic trainer boxes; group B was trained by a ...

PURPOSE To evaluate postoperative results of laparoscopic varicocelectomy using bipolar electrosurgery and analyze semen according to the grade of varicocele after surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a six-year period, 416 men with clinical varicocele and impaired semen parameters or infertility underwent laparoscopic varicocelectomy using bipolar electrosurgery. All patients were assessed for ...

PURPOSE We systematically reviewed the results of varicocelectomy by Palomo procedure in children and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a search of the English literature through the MEDLINE((R)) database and the Cochrane Central Search library. The key words used were "varicocele and children" and "varicocele and adolescents." Of 264 articles published with data on varicocele s...

objective: surgery is considered the primary treatment for male infertility from clinical varicocele. one of the main events associated with varicocele is excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ros). n-acetyl-l-cysteine (nac), an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals, is considered a supplement to alleviate glutathione (gsh) depletion during oxidative stress. despite beneficial eff...

PURPOSE We determined the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic varicocelectomy (RALV) in the pediatric population compared with laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LV). PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified all patients who underwent RALV since April of 2006. For each case, we selected two age-matched controls who underwent LV and compared the groups in terms of operative times, posto...
