Tauber’s antegrade sclerotherapy for the treatment of varicocele in children and adolescents. Does the pubertal stage matter?
Tauber's antegrade sclerotherapy is a reliable technique in the treatment of paediatric and adolescent varicocele, regardless of patients' pubertal stage. Although prepubertal patients may need more general anaesthesia, the procedure maintains similar efficacy and complication rates across all age groups.
