  • Title: Significance of subclinical varicocele detected by scrotal sonography in male infertility: a preliminary report.
    Author: Kondoh N, Meguro N, Matsumiya K, Namiki M, Kiyohara H, Okuyama A.
    Journal: J Urol; 1993 Oct; 150(4):1158-60. PubMed ID: 8371378.
    Abstract:
    To assess the clinical significance of subclinical right varicocele, we used scrotal sonography for a prospective study of 68 infertile patients with a clinical left varicocele. A significant difference was found in the improvement in postoperative semen characteristics between sonographically diagnosed bilateral and unilateral groups. We conclude that a subclinical right varicocele is also detrimental for spermatogenesis in patients with a clinical left varicocele.
