| Abstract: | The authors studied 520 patients with left-sided varicocele by left-sided phleborenotesticulography of Doppler ultrasonography, tensiometry of the left renotesticular venous system, blood gas composition, hormonal parameters, and etc. They present rationale for and evidence illustrations of aortomesenteric compression of the left renal vein, left-sided phleborenal hypertension prior to and after surgery for endovascular occlusion of the left testicular vein, before and following intervenous proximal testiculoiliac venous bypass surgery. The data of andrological dysfunction in patients with varicosis of the pampiniform plexus and spermatic cord (varicocele) are presented. An algorithm of examination and treatment of this cohort of patients, by using both miniinvasive techniques (for X-ray endovascular occlusion of the temporal veins under local anesthesia) and high tech operations using microsurgical techniques (testiculoiliac venous anastomosis), is outlined. |
