Between March 2003 and December 2007, 46 patients with varicocele were treated using 3 trocars (group A) or 2 trocars (group B) laparoscopic varicocelectomy. Data regarding operative time, time of vein ligation, hospital stay, recurrence rate and complications of each procedure were retrospectively evaluated.RESULTS:
Of the 46 patients 39 with left side varicocele constituted the population of the present study; the others, with bilateral varicocele, were excluded. No significant differences were found in terms of mean operative time, mean time of vein ligation, mean hospital stay and morbidity between group A and B.CONCLUSION:
Laparoscopic varicocelectomy is feasible, safety and effective surgical technique. Compared with 3 trocars, 2 trocars laparoscopic varicocelctomy results in similar operative and postoperative outcomes. In addition, it is cost-effective and cosmetic.
