Spermatocelectomy with and without epididymectomy: retrospective experience at a single institution in patients not interested in fertility preservation
Current data is lacking regarding recurrence rates after spermatocelectomy. Spermatocelectomy with epididymectomy resulted in a lower recurrence rate than spermatocelectomy alone. Removing the source of the communication between spermatocele and epididymis may result in a lower recurrence rate. A prospective, randomized trial is recommended to confirm these findings.
