Bilateral Subinguinal microscopic varicocelectomy
Using Leica® Microsystems , Germany. the patient was placed in a supine position after spinal anesthesia administration , The left external inguinal ring was located near the pubic tubercle by palpation, and the incision site was marked below the annulus of the left external ring. A 1.5- to 3-cm oblique incision was made along the skin line. After the tissues were dissected layer by layer, the incision was exposed until the spermatic cord became visible. the spermatic cord was lifted out with Babcock clamp and delivered though the incision and followed by the placement of a nelaton catheter 20 fr below the spermatic cord. The external spermatic vein was located and ligated. The microscopic operation was performed at 10× to 20× magnification.
