ADOLESCENT VARICOCELE REPAIR: LONG-TERM RESULTS AND COMPARISON OF SURGICAL TECHNIQUES ACCORDING TO OPTICAL MAGNIFICATION USE IN 100 CASES AT A SINGLE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Abstract

Adolescent varicocele repair improves semen parameters and is a safe method with low recurrence and low complication rates. Our study suggests that the postoperative complication rate significantly decreases with use of higher magnification, such as microscopy. Microsurgical varicocele repair is the best technique with the lowest postoperative rates of recurrence and hydrocele in the treatment of adolescent varicoceles.
