Varicocele Repair
Surgery for varicocele is performed to improve male fertility and semen parameters.
The surgery is known as Varicocelectomy or Micro-Varicocelectomy (if done with the aid of operating microscope).
It is usually done under General Anaesthesia.A small incision is made on the abdomen in the lower part.
The vessels that cause varicocele are identified and ligated. This resumes the normal flow of blood and improves sperm parameters over a period of time.
There are no known disadvantages of varicocele surgery.
