  • Title: The Doppler stethoscope in the diagnosis of subclinical varicocele.
    Author: Perrin P, Rollet J, Durand L.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1980 Oct; 52(5):390-1. PubMed ID: 7427013.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-six patients (112 testicular cords) were examined using the Doppler stethoscope. Venous reflux was detected in all patients with a clinically obvious varicocele and in 77% of patients where a varicocele was suspected but not clinically demonstrated. The incidence of bilateral varicoceles was 21%. The Doppler stethoscope showed that 20% of patients continued to have venous reflux post-operatively. It is concluded that the Doppler stethoscope is a useful instrument in the diagnosis of clinical varicoceles and in the assessment of post-operative results.
