- Abstract
- The varicocele is benign pathology which sometimes involves disorders of testicular growth. Those can cause a hypofertility. We saw in a retrospective way the 243 patients having been treated by percutaneous embolisation from May 1985 to August 1993. At 150 patients being 1 year at least of postoperative retreat, 70% of cases present a cure, 15% of patients repeated and were taken again surgically. At 8% of patients, the embolisation was not technically possible for reasons of vascular anomalies or spasm of the vein during the procedure. The morbidity of this technique is low, this involves therefore a right choice of the treatment of the varicocele which does not prevent any surgical treatment in the event of repetition or in the event of technical failure.
