Varicocele is a dilatation of the spermatic veins, particularly on the left side, and represents one of the most frequent causes of male infertility. Its frequency in pre-adolescence varies from 10% to 15%. Even today varicocele pathogenesis is not clear. In the period from August 1990 to August 1999, 35 males between 10 and 16 years of age were treated surgically in our Institution via interruption of the internal spermatic vein using Palomo's technique. Patients that reached the age of 18 after surgery have had a spermiogramm. The problem of varicocele therapy in pre-adolescence has not yet been resolved with regard to surgical therapy and follow-up.
精索静脉曲张是精索静脉的扩张，尤其是左侧，是男性不育最常见的原因之一。其在青春期前的发病率为10%至15%。即使在今天，精索静脉曲张的发病机制仍不清楚。1990年8月至1999年8月期间，我们机构对35名10至16岁的男性采用帕洛莫技术通过阻断精索内静脉进行了手术治疗。术后年满18岁的患者进行了精液检查。青春期前精索静脉曲张的治疗问题在手术治疗和随访方面尚未得到解决。
