- W1567418234 abstract "Objective: Many reports on varicoceles suggest improved spermatic findings and increased pregnancy rates after correction of these lesions. Early repair during adolescence has been advocated, since clinically apparent varicoceles may affect testicular volume and sperm production in the future. We examined the efficacy of microsurgical varicocelectomy, and aimed to establish predictive parameters useful for ascertaining whether varicocele repair provides any benefits in adolescents and adults. Methods: We carried out microsurgical varicocelectomy on nine boys and 19 men. In adolescents, catch‐up growth of the testis, expressed by pre‐ and postoperative ratios of left and/or right testicular volume, grade and serum level of follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) were evaluated. In adults, the ratio of sperm concentration improvement, grade, testicular volume, preoperative sperm concentration and serum FSH level were evaluated. All subjects were followed for 12 months. Results: Catch‐up growth was seen in 62.5% of boys. FSH level was significantly lower in boys with catch‐up growth than in boys without catch‐up growth. Improved sperm concentration was seen in 73.6% of adults. FSH level was significantly lower in adults with improved sperm concentration than in patients without improved sperm concentration. No correlations were seen between other parameters and catch‐up growth in adolescents, or sperm concentration improvement in adults. Conclusions: Microsurgical varicocelectomy as a treatment for varicoceles with low FSH might be effective and the relevant predictive parameter for testicular development and function after surgery might be serum FSH level in both adults and adolescents." @default.
