The surgical correction of varicocele: multidisciplinary study on semen evaluation and prognostic factors for fertility.
The seminal pattern was studied in a group of 52 patients before and six months after sclerotherapy of varicocele. In this series, we studied the differences in clinical and seminal characteristics between the group that succeeded in obtaining a pregnancy and the group that remained infertile after 1 year follow-up. The difference in pregnancy rate is discussed between the operated group and a control group of pz, who refused any form of surgery, after 1 year follow-up.
