Varicocele is a common cause of male infertility and can be treated surgically or by angiographic occlusion of the internal spermatic (testicular) vein. The treatment of clinical as well as subclinical varicoceles has been reported to improve sperm parameters. Varicocele also can cause scrotal pain and discomfort. We treated 89 patients using percutaneous sclerotherapy on an outpatient basis. Our technique proved to be simple and effective and was associated with low morbidity. At follow-up only three failures occurred.
精索静脉曲张是男性不育的常见原因，可通过手术或精索内（睾丸）静脉血管造影闭塞术进行治疗。据报道，临床和亚临床精索静脉曲张的治疗可改善精子参数。精索静脉曲张还可引起阴囊疼痛和不适。我们对89例患者进行了门诊经皮硬化治疗。我们的技术被证明简单有效，且发病率低。随访时仅出现3例失败病例。
