Comparison of Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy and Microsurgical Varicocelectomy with Internal Spermatic Vein-Superficial Epigastric Vein Bypass in Adolescent Patients
Both LV and MV are safe and effective techniques for adolescent varicocele repair, with comparable complication and recurrence rates. LV offers significantly shorter operative time, whereas MV provides a superior improvement in semen parameters, suggesting a potential advantage of microsurgical repair in adolescents presenting with abnormal semen analysis.
