Abstract:
Transvenous embolization of the internal spermatic vein appears to be at least as effective as open surgical correction in treating men with varicocele and it has several advantages ; (1) it requires only local anesthesia and a short hospital stay ; (2) there is no risk of damage to the spermatic artery : (3) the veins can be occluded accurately whatever the arrangement of any collateral vessels. We reported a technique for non-operative management of varicocele by a occlusion of the internal spermatic vein using stainless steel spring coil.
