  • Title: Anatomy of the spermatic venous plexus (pampiniform plexus) in men with and without varicocele: intraoperative venographic study.
    Author: Wishahi MM.
    Journal: J Urol; 1992 May; 147(5):1285-9. PubMed ID: 1569670.
    Abstract:
    Venous anatomy of the testis was reexamined by retrograde spermatic venography during surgery in 17 men with and in 11 without a varicocele. The route of venous drainage of the testis was the internal spermatic vein and the external pudendal vein. The cremasteric and vasal veins were smaller collaterals. There was no cross communication between the right and left spermatic venous systems in the scrotal, retropubic or pelvic areas. In men with a varicocele the spermatic venous plexus was formed of numerous venous sinuses and large dilated veins.
