Abstract

Varicocele is a benign pathology, for which the less invasive treatment is percutaneous embolisation. Literature reports results from 70 to 85% (1,2). Laparoscopic treatment seems to be a good alternative for patients suffering from a recurrence, or patients who can not be embolised. We report our experience concerning the first 13 patients treated with laparoscopic technic. In all 13 cases it was possible to practice the technic, and patients were cured.
