ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical effects of laparoscopic varicocelectomy to ejaculum quality in patients with varicocele.Methods Fifty patients with varicocele were treated by laparoscopic varicocelectomy.The patients were grouped into Group A and Group B according to venous diameter.Semen parameters including semen volume,sperm density,sperm motilities (a + b + c),sperm motilities (a + b),sperm motilities (a),total sperms,normal spermmorphology rate and sperm survival rate were measured and recorded before operation and 1,3,6 months after operation.Results After the follow-up of 6 months above in 50 cases,there is no significant difference about semen volume preoperative and postoperative at different follow-up time(P ＞ 0.05).In some semen parameters(sperm density,sperm motilities,total sperms,normal spermmorphology rate),there is no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative 1 month(P ＞ 0.05),but there is significant difference between postoperative 3 months and postoperative 6 months(P ＜ 0.05).There is no significant difference in preoperative semen parameters between the 2 groups(P ＞ 0.05),but there is significant difference in postoperative 6 month(P ＜0.05).In Group A,there is significant difference in sperm density between preoperative and postoperative 1 month (P ＜0.05).In Group B,there is significant difference in sperm density,sperm motilities and normal spermmorphology rate between preoperative and postoperative 1 month(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic varicocelectomy has a positive effect on sperm parameters,it can significantly improve postoperative semen parameters.Semen parameters improve to a relatively stable level by 3 months following operation.
