Abstract
A total number of 100 patients presented with varicocele-induced male infertility were included in this study. All patients were treated surgically by laparoscopic varicocelectomy L.V with spermatic artery preservation. At the 4tn and 6 month postoperatively, all patients were subjected to clinical examination, Doppler, Duplex ultrasound and conventional semen analysis. The rate of conception of the wife was recorded up to two years after surgery. Postoperative spermiogram showed significant increase in the number and motility with marked reduction of the abnormal forms. The pregnancy rate had much increased up to 45% of patients. The overall postoperative complications such as recurrence, hydrocele formation and testicular atrophy occurred in a very small number of patients if any. Conclusion : L.V is a good method for treatment of varicocele-induced male infertility as it is performed by using a minimum laparoscopic instruments, allows easy access to spermatic veins with preservation of spermatic artery, short hospital stay, early return to work and minimal complications.
