Varicocele surgery is a surgical procedure to treat and repair varicoceles, or the damaged vessels on the testes. A varicocele can only be treated with surgery, as it doesn’t disappear on its own or respond to medical treatment. Varicocelectomy is an effective surgery with long-term effects. Varicocelectomy can be done as a daycare procedure and thus involves a minimal hospital stay.
Diagnosis of Varicocele
The urologist first diagnoses the varicocele based on the signs and symptoms of the patient. Some of them are as follows:
1. A dull pain or discomfort in the scrotum
2. Difference in the size of the testes
3. Extra mass in the scrotum apart from the testes
4. Infertility or inability to conceive since 1 year
Tests to Diagnose Varicocelectomy
To confirm the presence of a varicocele, the following tests may be done:
1. Scrotal Doppler ultrasound: it can help show the blood flow to the scrotum as well as the defective vessels that give rise to the varicocoele.
2. Scrotal digital thermography: It is a simple surface-level temperature checking device that helps visualise the scrotal blood supply.

Varicocele Surgery:
The varicocele surgery is a minimally invasive, simple procedure that is completed on the same day as you are admitted. The surgeon performs the surgery under general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia to make the procedure painless. The surgeon then makes small incisions around the groyne to approach the varicocele or the dilated, tortuous veins. The aim of the surgery is to redirect the blood to the thigh and inner part of the groyne and keep the faulty valve out of the circulation. The surgeon can also proceed with the procedure while using a microscope to reduce any additional damage to the surrounding tissues.

FAQs
Is advanced varicocelectomy surgery permanent?
Varicocelectomy is a highly accurate procedure that produces lasting results if the patient doesn’t have a recurring valve disease. Good care of the wound, follow-up, and taking the doctor’s advice can help with permanent results.
Are there non-surgical alternatives to varicoceles removal?
There are two tried and approved non-surgical alternatives:
1. Sclerotherapy: a sclerosing substance or something that causes the veins to block and collapse helps direct blood flow to other areas. This procedure prevents further logging of blood in the varicocoele.
2. Radiofrequency ablation or fulguration:It is done to reduce the pain or discomfort in the varicocoele by destroying the nerve carrying the sensation of pain from that area.
What if a varicoceles is not treated?
- If a varicocoele is not treated, it can grow overtime and lead to issues like infertility, discomfort, and even atrophy of the testes.
How soon can I return to work after treatment?
You can return to work almost 2–3 days after the procedure while keeping in mind the following conditions:
1. Avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Do not lift heavy weights.
3. Eat a nutritious diet.
