Dear Editor: I would like to congratulate Dr. Soputro and collaborators for their fine article entitled "A Historical Perspective of the Evolution of Laparoscopic Surgeries" in the Journal of Endourology; Volume 36, Number 10, October 20221 and, in particular, thank them for mentioning us as authors of the first laparoscopic radical cystectomy, performed in 1993. However, it is notable that they fail to cite the first laparoscopic operative procedure in urology, i.e., the laparoscopic varicocelectomy published in 1988 and later in 1990 in the Journal of Endourology...

BACKGROUND: Varicocele is a reversible cause of male infertility. However, there are conflicting data available concerning the benefit of varicocele repair for patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) and severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT). OBJECTIVE: To address the benefit of varicocelectomy in patients with severe OAT and NOA with regard to their semen parameters and surgical sperm retrieval rate in those who underwent testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or testicular sperm aspiration (TESA)...

PURPOSE: Testicular volume (TV) is known to be one of the main parameters for testicular function (TF). This study was conducted to re-evaluate the indications of a varicocelectomy based on a survey of preoperative TV results in left-side varicocele patients considered to reflect the detrimental effects of a varicocele on TF. METHODS: TV results of infertile patients determined using ultrasonography by a single expert physician were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: Of 590 examined patients, 424 had no varicocele findings (Group A), while 148 had a left-side varicocele (Group B)...

BACKGROUND: Varicocele is the most prevalent correctable cause of male infertility. Currently, surgical treatment is the primary method to enhance fertility.For many young varicocele patients who have postponed surgery due to time constraints, daytime surgery is especially crucial. Thus, this study aims to investigate the clinical and nursing application value of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle in daytime varicocelectomy. METHODS: Retrospective collection of clinical data was conducted on 130 patients undergoing laparoscopic varicocelectomy in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Guangzhou,China...

PURPOSE: The management of infertile patients with unilateral subclinical varicocele (SCV) and contralateral clinical varicocele (CV) remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the effect of untreating SCV on the outcome of contralateral clinical varicocelectomy in infertile patients with oligoasthenozoospermia (OA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Infertile patients with the diagnosis of OA who underwent left varicocelectomy were retrospectively evaluated. While all patients in the study had left clinical varicocele (LCV), some patients had concomitant right SCV...

Varicoceles are dilated veins within the pampiniform plexus and are relatively common in the general male population. The spermatic vein has many branches in the scrotal segment and then gradually merges into 1-2 trunks after passing through the internal inguinal ring. The key to a successful varicocelectomy is to ligate all the spermatic veins while protecting the testicular arteries and spermatic lymphatic vessels from damage. The small veins, including the branches of spermatic veins and collateral veins, are easily missed for ligation during conventional high ligation of varicocele, which has been suggested as a major cause of postoperative recurrence...

Microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy (MSV) is considered the preferred treatment for varicocele. However, its adoption among urologists in Indonesia is limited due to the high cost of acquiring a surgical microscope. Therefore, most varicoceles were managed using loupe-assisted MSV, which is considered a less effective approach. This paper presents a case study of a patient with bilateral grade II varicocele who underwent a successful MSV procedure using a video exoscope. The exoscope provided sufficient magnification and image quality for the safe and efficient performance of MSV on a patient...

INTRODUCTION: The authors in this paper discuss a rare disease entity that can cause testicular pain and mimic varicocele. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Citing data from a review of the world literature, spermatic cord thrombosis is most often misdiagnosed as an incarcerated inguinal hernia. Patients usually complain of pain and swelling of the testicle, pain in the inguinal region, and sometimes a palpable mass in the inguinal region. RESULTS: Ultrasonography with colour Doppler usually establishes the correct diagnosis...

Objective Varicocele is considered the most common reversible cause of male infertility. However, some men do not clinically improve after surgical repair. We aimed to identify preoperative factors associated with decreased semen parameters and clinical "downgrading" of total motile sperm count (TMSC) following varicocelectomy. Methods We examined men with preoperative laboratory testing and pre- and postoperative semen analyses (SA) who underwent varicocelectomy between 2010 and 2020. Ejaculate volume, sperm motility, sperm concentration, TMSC, and clinical grade of TMSC (in vitro fertilization: <5M sperm, intrauterine insemination: 5-9M sperm, natural pregnancy: >9M sperm) were used to determine postoperative outcomes...
