Varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat varicocele. It is a condition in which veins inside the scrotum become enlarged and twisted, similar to varicose veins. It is one of the main causes of male infertility and testicular discomfort. Surgery helps improve sperm production, relieve pain and restore testicular function.
When a varicocele forms in your scrotum, it interrupts the blood flow to the reproductive system. The scrotum is the sac in which the testicles are housed. Blood accumulates in the scrotum and the veins become excessively big because blood cannot return to the heart through these veins.
It also affects the blood count. A microsurgical varicocelectomy is recommended for precise vein removal, ensuring minimal tissue damage and faster recovery.
What is Varicocelectomy?
Varicocelectomy is a minimally invasive or open surgical procedure that includes ligation or removal of the dilated veins in the scrotum to restore normal blood flow. It is recommended for:
1-2 days for basic activity; full recovery in 1-2 weeks
