Abstract

Fifty-two varicoceles in 50 outpatients were treated by occlusion of the internal spermatic vein (ISV) using detachable balloons 1-2 mm in diameter. The primary reason for treatment was pain in 7 patients and subfertility in 43. All achieved satisfactory occlusion, and only one recurrence was noted in 8 months of follow-up. Limited pre-occlusion venograms allowed precise balloon placement relative to collateral veins which could cause recurrence. This is a safe and effective nonsurgical method of obliterating varicoceles in outpatients.

摘要

50名门诊患者的52条精索静脉曲张采用直径1 - 2毫米的可脱性球囊闭塞精索内静脉（ISV）进行治疗。治疗的主要原因是7例患者疼痛，43例患者不育。所有患者均实现了满意的闭塞效果，随访8个月仅发现1例复发。术前有限的静脉造影可使球囊相对于可能导致复发的侧支静脉精确放置。这是一种安全有效的门诊精索静脉曲张非手术闭塞方法。
