Effect of Microsurgical Subinguinal Varicocele Repair on Chronic Dull Scrotal Pain in Men with Grade II-III Lesions

摘要

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of microsurgical subinguinal varicocele repair in patients with grade ll-lll lesions and chronic dull scrotal pain. Materials and Methods: A total of 29 patients with grade ll-lll varicocele and chronic dull scrotal pain that had a microsurgical subinguinal varicocele repair were included in the study. They were followed-up for 6-12 months including pain assessment and scrotal examination. Results: Of the 29 patients, 28 (97%) reported complete resolution of pain with no palpable varicocele on scrotal examination. No cases of testicular atrophy or hydrocele formation were reported. Conclusion: These results indicated that microsurgical varicocele repair should be considered in patients with grade ll-lll lesions and chronic dull scrotal pain.
