Abstract

The laparoscopic Palomo varicocelectomy were performed in 38 males with left-sided varicocele. The mean operation time was 37 (25-56) min. There were no intra-abdominal visceral or vascular complications during operation. Neither testicular atrophy nor recurrence was observed postoperatively. However, hydrocele formation was found in two (5.3%) patients. These findings suggest that laparoscopic Palomo varicocelectony is a safe and effective procedure for patients with varicocele.
