Microscopic Varicocelectomy under Local Anesthesia as the Treatment of Varicocele.
Varicocele, characterized by the dilation of veins within the spermatic cord, is a prevalent disease in males, accounting for 35%-40% of infertility cases among men of reproductive age. This condition may disrupt normal neuroregulation, blood supply, and temperature regulation in the testicles, thereby impacting sperm count, quality (morphology, fragmentation rate), and functionality (motility). It may even induce symptoms such as pain and testicular atrophy. The international standard treatment method is microscopic varicocelectomy, typically performed under general anesthesia. This requires patients to fast before surgery and necessitates recovery and fasting care postoperatively. The arterial blood pressure drop caused by anesthesia may obscure the fluctuation of the spermatic artery, making the precise intraoperative isolation and protection of the spermatic artery more challenging. Therefore, this study proposes and implements microscopic varicocelectomy under local anesthesia. This method facilitates rapid and precise identification of the fluctuating spermatic artery, reducing the risk of spermatic artery damage. It also provides more humane care for patients, reduces economic burden, and offers a new perspective on the treatment of varicocele.
