Treatment of varicocele by embolization

Urologist

Varicocele is a large varicose dilation (varicose veins) of the veins of the spermatic cord (located in the bursa, above and around each testicle). Percutaneous embolization makes it possible to treat varicocele with less pain than after conventional inguinal surgery. This interventional radiology technique, performed under local ambulatory anesthesia, however requires a very experienced operator. But even in this case, catheterization of the spermatic vessels cannot always be carried out.
