Concomitant varicocelectomy and jaboulay's operation

الملخص EN

Varicocele is the most common correctable cause of male infertility.

It is found in 35 and 80% of patients with primary and secondary infertility respectively.

The most effective treatment for varicocele is surgery.

Varicocelectomy is associated with a lot of complications, hydrocele is the most common of which, and it affects about 20% of patients.

Many techniques have been done to reduce the incidence of postvaricocelectomy hydrocele which is difficult to be done here nowadays.

In this study we decided to do Jaboulay's operation (the operation for hydrocele) at the same time of varicocelectomy.

We applied this maneuver for 76 patients and of course and we got no postoperative hydrocele.

So we recommend combining Jaboulay's operation with varicocelectomy for all patients with varicocele to avoid the occurrence of hydrocele and the need for a second surgery.
