  • Title: [Varicocele in childhood. Treatment indications and value of sclerotherapy].
    Author: Steffens J, Braedel HU, Ziegler M.
    Journal: Urologe A; 1992 Sep; 31(5):302-5. PubMed ID: 1302410.
    Abstract:
    Varicocele is the most common surgically correctable cause of male subfertility. The incidence of varicocele is about the same in adolescents as in men (16.3%). Percutaneous transfemoral sclerotherapy has been performed in 42 of the authors' own cases; it is an alternative to surgical ligation of the varicocele and should be recommended whenever a varicocele is found, to prevent gonadotoxic damage.
