Early and late complications of inguinal varicocelectomy
1Department of Urology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, New York, USA.
Purpose:
I reviewed the early and late complications of inguinal and subinguinal varicocelectomy that I have personally encountered in an experience of more than 40 years as a urologist dealing with male infertility and offer suggestions to my colleagues for avoiding some of these pitfalls in the future.
Materials And Methods:
These complications occurred as a consequence of surgery that I performed while using 4x to 6x power optical loupe magnification or they were complications of surgery performed elsewhere that I saw later in consultation.
Results:
My commentary and suggestions for dealing with and decreasing the incidence of or avoiding such complications should be helpful to urologists performing inguinal or subinguinal varicocelectomy.
Conclusions:
Forewarned is forearmed.
