Varicocelectomy

What is Varicocelectomy? 

Varicocelectomy is an operation to treat the varicocele that is seen on the scrotum and restricts the blood flow to the reproductive organs.

How is Varicocelectomy surgery done? 

During the Varicocelectomy surgery, multiple incisions are done in the lower abdomen area, through which a laparoscope is being inserted. Then, gas is leaked through the abdomen so that procedure can be done in a wider environment. Then, the widened blood vessels are being removed to enable proper blood flow to the reproductive system.

The reasons for having Varicocelectomy
