Abstract
- Many questions on diagnosis of varicocele in adolescent patients have yet to be adequately answered, particularly regarding paternity outcomes after treated in comparison to conservative monitoring. There have been some promising outcomes after surgical treatment, particularly microsurgical varicocelectomy, but the results are mixed and may not be comparable because of differing variables. Future studies with robust methodologies are needed to identify which adolescents require treatment and when treatment should be initiated to avoid any detrimental effects on future fertility.<br /> (Published by Elsevier B.V.)
