Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the incidence of postoperative epididymitis by laparoscopic cluster ligation and laparoscopic internal spermatic vein high ligation in the treatment of varicocele. Methods Forty-four cases of bilateral varicocele were retrospectively analyzed , who had undergone laparoscopic spermatic vein ligation. The 22 cases were treated with laparoscopic cluster ligation, and the other 22 cases with laparoscopic internal spermatic vein high ligation. The effects and the reasons of two kinds of surgical procedures on postoperative epididymitis were investigated. Results A total of seven patients were affected with postoperative epididymitis. The incidence of laparoscopic cluster ligation was 27.27%. The incidence of laparoscopic internal spermatic vein high ligation was 4.55%. All cases were affected within 4 weeks after surgery. Conclusion It is important to reserve the spermatic artery for decreasing the incidence of postoperative epididymitis.
