A Prospective Cohort Study of Combined Subinguinal Varicocele Ligation and Sclerotherapy

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

Traditional surgical ligation of the spermatic cord veins is effective in reducing the size of the varicocele and improving fertility outcomes. However, this procedure can be associated with complications such as hydrocele formation and recurrence . Antegrade sclerotherapy offers a minimally invasive alternative, involving the injection of a sclerosing agent directly into the dilated veins to achieve occlusion and reduce reflux . This study aims to optimize treatment outcomes for varicocele by combining the benefits of surgical ligation with the sclerosing effects of sclerotherapy .The primary goal is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining antegrade sclerotherapy and surgical ligation in the treatment of varicocele .
