[Ambulatory laparoscopic varicocelectomy. The first experiences].

Minimal invasive surgery has many benefits, and its application in different areas of surgery is still widening. This paper describes the results of treatment of varicoceles with laparoscopic technique on a day-in day-out basis. The operative time was acceptable and decreased with experience. The postoperative morbidity was low and time of convalescence short making the operation suitable for an out-patient regime, which again justifies the extra costs.
