Endovascular Embolization of the Testicular Vein During Varicocele. Clinical Case

Abstract

Varicocele is a pathology characterized by dilation of the venous veins of the seminal canal. Currently, the incidence of varicocele among adolescent men aged 12-20 years is 10-20%, and among men suffering from infertility, it is detected in 45%. In clinical practice, there are several methods of treating varicocele: open or microsurgical laparotomy, surgical embolization and laparoscopic varicocelectomy. However, the frequency of relapses of varicocele varies and depends on the method of its treatment. Embolization performed using venography helps to accurately determine the condition of the vessels of the testicles. Therefore, in our article we will describe the advantages and possibilities of modern minimally invasive treatment of varicocele embolization, possible complications and results.
