A varicocele is most likely the result of an incompetent vein with retrograde flow of blood into the scrotum. Surgical ligation of this incompetent system is the present-day procedure of choice. In our series of 225 varicocelectomies, there have been three definite recurrences, due to either recollateralization or failure to ligate all branches of this venous plexus.
精索静脉曲张很可能是由于静脉功能不全导致血液逆流至阴囊所致。对这个功能不全的系统进行手术结扎是目前的首选治疗方法。在我们的225例精索静脉结扎术系列中，有3例明确复发，原因是重新侧支化或未能结扎该静脉丛的所有分支。
