[Two methods of laparoscopic varicocelectomy for the treatment of spermatic varicocele].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To introduce two methods of laparoscopic varicocelectomy for the treatment of spermatic varicocele. METHODS: Forty-five cases of spermatic varicocele were treated by video laparoscopic technique with two or three punch. RESULTS: All the 45 operations were performed successfully, and no complications occurred during and after the operations. CONCLUSIONS: Spermatic varicocele is one of the most suitable indications for video laparoscopic surgery. The two-punch technique is more advantageous than the three-punch.
