“…Operating time of 61.4 minutes (56.6% for unilateral and 75.8 for bilateral procedures) was also reported. 3 Relatively shorter operating time of 34±11 minutes for unilateral and 47±9 minutes for bilateral varicocelectomy was reported. 8 However, different observation were made in study on 39 patients with bilateral laparoscopic varicocelectomy and average operative time was 96.6 minutes which was much higher as compared to any study including present one.…”

“…Various authors have also reported laparoscopic varicocelectomy a safe, effective, procedure with minimum discomfort with early return to activity. 3,7,17 Apart from the advantages of early recovery early return to work and pain free post-operative period, the distinct advantages of laparoscopic approach is that both sides can be operated with same port/ports. 2,3 Patients with obesity or history of previous surgery in inguinal region can also be treated by laparoscopic technique.…”

Other procedures like herniotomy, adhesiolysis or testicular mobilization for orchiopaxy in Undescended tests can also be done through same approach along with varicocelectomy.…”

Background: Idiopathic varicocele is common condition encountered in surgical practice requiring surgical correction. Open surgical technique had been in use for long but laparoscopic varicocelectomy is another choice for its management.Methods: This is a prospective study on 100 patients. 70 patients were subjected to laparoscopic and 30 to open inguinal varicocelectomy.Results: Majority of patients were between 16 to 25 years of age. 55% were asymptomatic and 10% had infertility. Grade II varicocele was observed in 50% patients. All patients had left side involvement with bilateral varicocele in 2% patients. Mean operating was 13.8 min in unilateral and 17.3 min in bilateral laparoscopic varicocelectomy whereas it was 27.55 min in unilateral and 49.7 min in bilateral open varicocelectomy. 5.7% and 6.6% had secondary hydrocele and hospital stay was 1.25 and 3.4 days in laparoscopic and open group respectively.Conclusions: Laparoscopic varicocelectomy is safe, effective procedure with less post-operative pain and analgesic requirement. It also has shorter operating time and post-operative hospital stay. Procedures like opposite varicocele, herniotomy, adhesiolysis or orchiopexy can also be done.

“…Микрохирургическое лигирование яичковой вены дает рецидивы в 0,8-4,0 % случаев, осложнения -по-слеоперационное гидроцеле, повреждение артерии, гематома мошонки [10,11]. В результате лапароскопи-ческой резекции яичковых вен рецидивы появляются в 3-7 % случаев, осложнения -повреждение яичковой артерии и лимфатических сосудов, повреждение тон-кой кишки, сосудов, нервов, тромбоэмболия легочной артерии, пе ри тонит, кровотечение, послеоперационная боль в правом плече (в связи с растяжением диафрагмы при наложении пневмоперитонеума), пневмоскротум, раневая инфекция [12,13].…”
