Abstract EN
Objectives: To assess the efficacy of embolization of testicular vein for the treatment of recurrent varicocele.
Methods: Between January 2002 and December 2005, a total of 64 patients with a mean age of 28 (18-40 years) were treated by embolization of testicular vein for management of recurrent varicocele at Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah II Center in King Hussein Medical Center.
Indication for treatment was as either infertility or presence of dragging pain in the left testicle.
Results: Embolization was accomplished successfully in 53 patients (82.8%), whereas it was difficult in eleven patients because of venous spasm and anomalous collaterals which could not be cannulated.
One patient required transfusion of blood due to bleeding from the internal spermatic vein.
Conclusion: Embolization technique for internal spermatic vein for treatment of recurrent varicocele is a safe technique with low morbidity.
It is also minimally invasive with high success rate
