What is Varicocele Surgery or Varicocelectomy?
Varix (dilated vein), cele (a tumor) Varicocele
is a condition where the veins in the scrotum are
abnormally enlarged. Similar to the varicose vein
on the legs or hands, Varicocele is varicose on
the testicles. Bad News  Varicocele is one of
the most identified causes of male
infertility. Good News  Varicocele can be
corrected! And the surgical technique that is
performed to treat this condition and
improve male fertility, is called Varicocelectomy.

How common is Varicocele?
Around 15 of all men have this Varicoceles, but
not all are aware of their condition until they
are evaluated for infertility. According to
research, 35-40 primary infertility and 80 of
secondary infertility cases are caused by
Varicoceles. Varicocele is found to be prevalent
in 25 of the cases of abnormal semen analysis.
Varicocele and Infertility in men
The temperature in testicles is generally 2
degrees centigrade less than that of the rest of
the body. The enlarged veins impair the
testicular blood flow causing the increase in
temperature which reduces the production of
testosterone, thus reducing the number of
spermatozoa in the semen. This increase in
temperature also induces oxidative stress that
damages the health of sperms, their motility, and
morphology. When the sperm production, as well as
the health of the sperm, is compromised, the
chances of conception severely takes a hit
causing infertility.

Symptoms of Varicoceles
As said above, most of the men are not aware of
this condition until the fertility evaluation is
done. But in some cases, the enlargement of the
vein is visible and so men even feel a mild to
the sharp sensation of pain in their scrotum. A
physical examination is done followed by an
ultrasound to diagnose and evaluate the condition.

Treatment options to reverse the Varicocele
Being one of the most commonly identified
conditions in men infertility cases, Varicocele
can be reversed using Varicocele repair surgery
where a one-inch incision is made to access the
veins causing the Varicocele and they are
ligated, thus alleviating the condition to
improve the production and health of sperm. This
surgery can be performed using a variety of
techniques traditional (open), laparoscopic or
using embolization.

How is the Varicocle surgery done?
A small incision is made in the groin region, to
easily identify the structure of the spermatic
cord, testicle arteries, lymphatics and small
periarterial veins. The veins which are
abnormally dialated (swollen) and then ligated.
The wound is then closed.
How long does a Varicocele Surgery take?
It is generally a day care process, done under
general or local anaesthesia and takes
approximately 1-2 hours to complete.

Success rate of Varicocele Surgery
The Varicocelectomy shows a considerable
improvement in the semen quality to about
60-80. This in its turn enhances the chance of
pregnancy from 43 to 69 after controlling the
female factors, within one to two years. The
larger varicoceles, may incur more damage to the
semen quality but are easier to repair compared
to their smaller counterparts. However, the
overall pregnancy rate is similar regardless to
the size of the variococeles. Varicocelectomy in
younger men yields better result and faster
recovery from the varicocele incurred injury to
the testis.

Risks associated with Varicocele Surgery
There are minimal risks involved in the process
apart from some swelling and pain that settles
within a couple of days. In some cases formation
of the Hydrocele (watery fluid around the
testicles) or Testicular Atrophy (shrunk
testicles) may happen. However, chances are very
low, about 1-15 for Hydrocele and only about
1-2 for Testicular Atrophy.
