“…Improvement in semen parameters occurs in 2 out of 3 of post operative patients and the reported rate of this improvement by different authors ranges from 51% to 92% [14]. Operative treatment of varicocele improves mainly motility and total number of sperm cells; sperm cells morphology is improved in lower percentage of cases.…”

AbstractVaricocele has been regarded a curable cause of infertility for dozens of years. The impact of varicocele treatment in terms of increase in pregnancy rates is a debated issue. We evaluate data from a 10-year cohort of results from laparoscopic operative treatment of varicocele patients according to pregnancy rate, complication rate, and satisfaction with varicocele repair. Ninety seven patients were treated by means of laparoscopy between 1993 and 1996. Ten years after operation questionnaires were sent to all patients. Answers were obtained from 49/97 pts. (50,5%). Details connected with marital status, pregnancy rate, addictions and scrotal pain discomfort were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square independence test and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. After 10 years, 75.5% who answered the questionnaire were fully satisfied with the results of treatment, 12.3% pts of patients were partially satisfied; 63.3% of patients fathered 1 to 3 children. Married patients and those who fathered children were found to be the most satisfied with the operation. We also found the statistically significant negative dependency between smoking addiction and number of children. There were no major complications intra- or postoperatively. No harmful consequences of testicular artery ligation were found. In conclusion, long-time 10 years follow-up enables better estimation of the results of laparoscopic treatment in patients with varicocele. Pregnancy rate may depend not only on varicocele repair but on smoking addiction as well. There is still no evidence of harmful consequences due to testicular artery ligation after varicocele repair

“…The purpose of this procedure is to approach the inguinal canal through the anterior approach. Among its main complications are nerve injury, tissue brosis, chronic pain in the inguinal region and risk of recurrence [16,21,22]. On the other hand, the Nyhus technique has been forgotten with the passing of time, since many surgeons or students do not practice it frequently because it is di cult to learn and it is only used in patients with recurrence of a previous pathway [22].…”

Background Inguinal hernia are the most common defect of the abdominal wall in 75% and their treatment consists of surgical repair. The technique of choice is laparoscopic because of its overall benefits. However, when this is not available, open approaches may be a viable option. Currently the most commonly used open techniques are Lichtenstein and Nyhus. However, there are no long-term studies that have compared outcomes between these two techniques. Methods Retrospective comparative study that included patients undergoing open inguinal hernia correction with mesh, using Lichtenstein-type open hernioplasty versus Nyhus-type preperitoneal hernioplasty, in two centers in Bogota, Colombia, during a period of two years. Frequencies and percentages were calculated. A bivariate analysis was performed to compare groups, according to the complications presented between the two techniques. Results 193 patients were included, of whom 53.36% were men and 58.03% (n = 112) were approached with the Nyhus technique. Non-absorbable suture fixation was performed in 100% of patients. Among the main complications, seroma (5.18%), pain (4.14%), bleeding (2.07%), recurrence (10.88%) and reoperation (0.51%) were observed, of which only recurrence showed a statistically significant difference, being lower in the Nyhus approach (3.57% vs. 20.67%; p < 0.001). No patients died. Conclusions Both Nyhus- and Lichtenstein-type hernioplasty techniques were shown to cause a low incidence of postoperative complications with zero mortality, with significantly lower recurrence using the Nyhus technique up to 1 year postoperatively.
