Treatment of Varicocele Using a Single Scrotal Access: Our Experiance on 55 Patients

In this study, we present our experience on 55 patients affected by varicocele and treated underwent surgery with a scrotal access. 55 patients were enrolled with clinical palpable and infraclinical (ultrasonic Doppler scanning) varicocele. They all underwent scrotal varicocelectomy under general anaesthesia. At 6 months, no other complications were reported. No case of testicular atrophy was observed. None had recurrence of varicocele. Scrotal access with general anaesthesia is a safe and useful technique to treat patients with varicocele in the paediatric population
