What Is Varicocelectomy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Scrotal varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure for treatment of scrotal varicoceles<\/strong><\/a> (dilated veins) that occur next to the testis.  Varicoceles can cause a number of symptoms<\/strong> including abnormal testicular growth<\/strong> in adolescent men, decreased testosterone levels<\/strong> and male infertility<\/strong>.  Varicoceles have also been implicated as a cause of premature ejaculation in men<\/strong> with infertility.<\/p>\n

\"mother-daughter-shutterstock_58290271\"Varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure during which the dilated veins (varicoceles) are ligated, cut or tied off.  Varicocelectomy can be performed using a variety of surgical approaches.  Common approaches to the treatment of varicoceles are microscopic varicocelectomy<\/strong>, laparoscopic varicocelectomy, and open varicocelectomy.<\/p>\n

Microscopic varicocelectomy<\/strong> is associated with the lowest risk of complications<\/strong>. The risk of hydrocele formation is less than 3%, the risk of recurrent varicocele formation is less than 5%.  Microscopic varicocelectomy does require more advanced skills and takes a little longer to perform than open or laparoscopic varicocelectomy.<\/p>\n

Because microscopic varicocelectomy provides superior outcomes, it is the preferred method of varicocelectomy at New York Urology Specialists<\/u> for our patients who require varicocelectomy.<\/p>\n

What are the Chances that Testosterone Levels Increased after Varicocele Repair?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Among men with clinically significant (palpable) varicoceles and low testosterone levels, around 70% of men experience increased testosterone levels<\/strong> after microscopic varicocelectomy<\/p>\n

How is Varicocelectomy Performed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The preferred technique for varicocele repair at New York Urology Specialists is microscopic sub-inguinal or inguinal varicocelectomy<\/strong>.  Microscopic varicocelectomy offers the most reliable results with the fewest risk of complications.  Varicocelectomy is either performed on one side and on both sides if varicoceles are bilateral.<\/p>\n
