“…[28] In various current series 73-90% catch-up growth rates have been detected. [20][21][22] In our study 70% catch-up growth rate was detected. However, Cayan et al [29] observed improvement in previously low sperm counts of 15-19-year-old men after varicocelectomy, while testicular catch-up growth was not observed in these patients.…”

“…In various novel series catch-up growth rates have varied between 73, and 90 percent. [20][21][22] In studies performed on the impact of surgical method on catch-up growth rate, any effect of surgical method on testicular catch-up rate could not be detected. [13,23] Recently, Shiraishi et al [23] , performed subinguinal, and high-ligation microsurgical varicocelectomy, and indicated 70, and 78% catch-up growth rates during 24 months of the follow-up period, respectively.…”

“…[28,29] However, testicular volumes may not increase significantly after varicocele repair in patients aged >14 years. [13] Studies suggest that varicocele repair in the adolescents significantly increases sperm parameters including sperm concentration, sperm motility and total motile sperm count, postoperatively.…”

“…Varicocele repair results in a significant increase in testicular volumes and consistency, and testicular catch-up growth has been occured in 53-94% of adolescents, postoperatively. [28,29] However, testicular volumes may not increase significantly after varicocele repair in patients aged >14 years (grade C). Repair of the adolescent varicocele may improve semen parameters and serum hormone values regardless of testicular volumes (grade C).…”
