Microscopic surgery for the repair of painful varicocele- efficacy and predictors of successful outcomes
A varicocelectomy is a good option for resolving painful varicocele in most patients, especially those whose only indication for surgery is pain. Repeat varicocele surgery appears to increase the risk of persistent pain. A longer follow-up period (more than 12 months after surgery) increases the chances of pain resolution.
