OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of @entity702 ligation clips for dilated spermatic veins in microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, eighty-four @entity1 with clinical varicocele underwent microsurgical varicocele repair. The @entity1 were divided into two groups according to the ligation materials used for the varicocelectomy (silk sutures vs. @entity702 clips). Group 1 included 43 @entity1 ; these @entity1 underwent microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy with the @entity702 clips. The 41 @entity1 included in Group 2 underwent microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy with silk sutures. Microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy was performed in all @entity1 . The two study groups were compared in terms of intra-operative and postoperative parameters. RESULTS: The mean age of the @entity1 was 28.6  4.6 years, and the mean follow-up was 12.3  2.7 months. The two groups exhibited comparable improvements in sperm motility and/or concentration: 79.1% and 82.9% in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively (p>0.05). The operation time in Group 1 ( @entity702 clip) was significantly shorter than in Group 2 (silk sutures). None of the @entity1 experienced any @entity532 . There were no significant differences between Group 1 and Group 2 with regard to postoperative recurrences, ligated veins, @entity260 and hydrocele formation, hospitalization time, the requirement for postoperative @entity1337 or the time until the @entity1 could return to work. CONCLUSION: @entity702 ligation clips can be used for the ligation of dilated vessels during microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy, and the operation time is significantly reduced with the use of @entity702 ligation clips.

The use of XXXX ligation clips in microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy.
