Phlebography of the internal spermatic vein (and the ovarian vein).

Phlebography of the internal spermatic vein was performed on 87 patients. In only two cases were slight complications (fever and chill) recorded after the examinations. The patients felt only a little discomfort during the examination. They did not have to be hospitalized before or after the examinations. In a few cases we saw sufficient values distally, at the level of L4-5. We have interpreted these cases as being normal.
