Abstract:
It is reported on the percutaneous transfemoral obliteration of the testicular vein with ethoxysclerol. This method was used in 75 patients for the treatment of the varicocele. 81.3% could successfully be treated by this means. The applicability of the method is restricted by anatomical particularities in the course of the testicular vein. Advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed.
