The role of artery‐preserving varicocelectomy in subfertile men with severe oligozoospermia: a randomized controlled study

Abstract

In men with severe oligozoospermia and a clinical varicocoele, APV results in improved outcomes as compared to ALV with respect to semen parameters and natural pregnancy rates. Therefore, all attempts should be made to preserve internal spermatic arteries (ISA) during varicocelectomy in men with severe oligozoospermia.
