Background: Varicocele is related with poor semen quality and sperm chromatin integrity which possibility decreases the spontaneous pregnancy potential. Some of the varicocele individuals have normal semen parameters with failed pregnancy. It is also one of the most controversial issues in the field ofinfertility, especially regarding why, when and for whom varicocelectomy should be implemented...

PURPOSE Single port laparoscopic varicocelectomy had been introduced to treat varicocele. As the special instrument with three ports was a bit larger for children, a modified technique of single incision with two trocars was attempted in our department. The study was designed to compare it with the traditional laparoscopic method via three ports. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve boys of 14 varico...

Varicocelectomy is the most commonly performed operation for the treatment of male infertility. Varicocele is found in approximately 15% of general male population and in 40% of men with infertility. The treatment of varicocele is not necessary unless the varicocele causes pathological spermiogram, difficulties and intense testicular volume at work and walking, also in children with varicocele ...

Varicocelectomy is a management option for patients with painful varicocele. In this study, we assessed the effectiveness of varicocelectomy for painful varicocele and examined the factors that might be predictive of outcome. All patients who underwent a varicocelectomy for pain between February 2007 and July 2009 were included. A review of patient medical records was conducted; patient age, bo...

BACKGROUND Premature ejaculation is one of the most problems in clinical practice. The association between varicocele and premature ejaculation was poorly understood. The effects of varicocelectomy on premature ejaculation in varicocele patient was studied. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the impacts of varicocelectomy on patients with both premature ejaculation and varicoce...

Varicoceles are the most common cause of male infertility. They afflict 15-20% of the general male population and 40% of males with primary infertility. Although multiple treatment modalities exist, including radiographic embolization and laparoscopy, open subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy is currently the gold standard of treatment for this condition. In this article, we discuss the ro...

Varicocele in infertile males is associated with Leydig cell dysfunction and hypogonadism. The effect of varicocelectomy on serum testosterone level is not yet established. We analysed 200 heterosexual infertile men diagnosed to have clinical varicocele they were divided into two groups: group 1 (100 men) had microsurgical varicocelectomy, and group 2 (100 patients) underwent assisted reproduct...

OBJECTIVE To measure testicular volume and the gonadotrophin response to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation in adolescents undergoing left varicocelectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirteen adolescents undergoing varicocelectomy had their testicular volume and endocrine function evaluated before and after surgery. RESULTS The initial left testicular volume was consistently small...

We evaluated the effect of varicocelectomy on semen parameters and levels of sperm DNA damage in infertile men. A total of 75 infertile men with varicocele and 40 fertile men (controls) were included in this study. Semen analysis and sperm DNA damage expressed as the DNA fragmentation index using acridine orange staining and chromatin condensation test by flow cytometry were assessed before and...
