Microscopic varicocele surgery

Microscopic varicocele surgery

   Varicocele surgery is a procedure performed to treat varicoceles, which are enlarged veins in the scrotum that can cause discomfort, pain, and infertility. Microscopic varicocele surgery is a minimally invasive approach that utilizes a surgical microscope and small incisions to access and repair the affected veins.

​

   During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum and uses a microscope to visualize the affected veins. The veins are then tied off or sealed to redirect blood flow to healthy veins and improve blood flow to the testicles.

​

   Microscopic varicocele surgery has several advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery time, and a lower risk of complications. It is also associated with a high success rate in improving symptoms and restoring fertility.

​

   Before undergoing microscopic varicocele surgery, patients should consult with their doctor to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure and determine if it is the most appropriate treatment option for their individual case.
