Abstract:
The retrograde sclerotherapy of the internal spermatic vein is a simple and safe method for the treatment of a varicocele. Approximately 5500 patients had so far undergone the interventional therapy in our departments. The methods of retrograde sclerotherapy will be described and alternative methods of treatment will be given in detail. The minor trauma, the low gonad dose and fast implementation coupled with a high success rate show that this method is very safe and efficient. We have, therefore, chosen it as the primary therapy.
