Long-Term Outcomes of Varicocelectomy in Children and Adolescents: Impact of Timing on Testicular Growth and Spermatogenesis

In this observational cohort, varicocelectomy was associated with improved testicular growth and higher spermatogenesis measures into adulthood. These findings highlight associations between timing of surgery and outcomes, supporting further investigation to inform optimal surgical indications.
