Comparative efficacy of varicocelectomy and intrauterine insemination in varicocoele patients with mild semen abnormalities: An observational study
Microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy significantly enhances semen quality and achieves superior clinical pregnancy and live birth rates compared to intrauterine insemination for varicocoele patients with mild semen abnormalities. These findings suggest that microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy is a more effective treatment option, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment strategies and supporting the preferential use of surgical intervention in this specific patient population.
