Introduction:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of microsurgical varicocele repair in patients with grade III lesions and chronic dull scrotal pain.
Materials And Methods:
The study was based on 8 patients with grade III left-sided varicocele and chronic dull scrotal pain for whom a microsurgical subinguinal varicocele repair was performed. The 1-year follow-up included pain assessment and scrotal examination.
Results:
Of the 8 patients, 7 (88%) 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 may benefit patients with grade III lesions and chronic dull scrotal pain.
