About this listen
Varicocele treatment options include varicocele embolization and laparoscopic varicocele ligation. In embolization, small coils are inserted into the vein to block blood flow to the varicocele, often recommended for children and high-risk patients. While it boasts no incisions, long-term success rates are slightly lower compared to open surgery. Laparoscopic ligation involves snipping veins feeding the varicocele but with higher risks of complications like hydrocele formation. Despite these differences, both methods offer effective relief, with embolization emerging as a preferred choice for its minimally invasive approach and broader applicability.
