Mikrocerrahi Varikoselektomi Nedir ve Nasıl Yapılır?

Varicocele is one of the most common and, fortunately, treatable causes of male infertility. Based on my years of clinical experience with patients from Adana, Çukurova, and the broader Mediterranean region, I can confidently state that accurate diagnosis and the right surgical technique can mark a turning point in a couple's journey to parenthood.

Varicocele is the abnormal dilation of veins within the scrotum, resembling varicose veins of the leg but occurring around the testicles. This pooling of blood causes an abnormal rise in testicular temperature, accumulation of toxic metabolites, and cellular damage, leading to impaired sperm count, motility, and morphology.

Microsurgical varicocelectomy is modern medicine's gold standard for treating varicocele. Through a small incision in the groin, we isolate the spermatic cord and use a high-resolution surgical microscope to magnify the vessels 8 to 15 times. This allows us to precisely identify, ligate, and divide the diseased veins while sparing healthy structures.

Compared to conventional open or laparoscopic procedures, I prioritize microsurgery for several vital clinical reasons:

In my clinic, I perform this delicate procedure with the following steps:

Sperm production takes about 74 days. Therefore, we schedule the first semen analysis (semenogram) 3 months post-op. The most significant and stable improvement is usually observed between the 6th and 9th months.

Thanks to the microsurgical technique, patients are usually discharged on the same day or the following morning. Desk jobs can be resumed within a few days, but heavy lifting and sexual activity should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks.

Varicocele is a reversible cause of infertility when addressed with the right surgical expertise. In my clinic in Adana, we provide state-of-the-art microsurgical treatments. Feel free to contact us for a comprehensive assessment and a personalized treatment plan.
