Abstract
Results of a retrospective study of 67 patients with scrotal varicocele on the left side are presented. By means of preoperative venography of the renal, internal spermatic and common iliac veins, 3 types of varicocele could be distinguished; the cause arises in the internal spermatic vein, and/or the varicocele is caused by common iliac vein obstruction. Use of routine preoperative venography is essential to establish the varicocele etiology and its proper management.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
