✦ Synopsis

Many surgical procedures have been proposed in the treatment of varicocele; however, the rate of recurrence and of postoperative complications, together with important correlation of this disease with male sterility, has played an important role in determining the success of microsurgery. In the present brief review, the indications for microsurgery and microsurgical dissection and/or anastomosis are described in comparison to traditional surgery.
