Abstract
Varicocele is the main cause of male infertility. Treatment stops continuous damage to spermatogenesis, thereby potentially improving fertility. Among all the available procedures, the ante-grade scrotal sclerotherapy (ASS), a combined radiological-surgical approach first introduced by Tauber, is gaining more popularity due to its minimal invasiveness. We report the case of a 35-year old man who was subjected to a colonic resection after antegrade scrotal sclerotherapy for varicocele. The procedure was necessary due to the embolization of venous anastomosis between the spermatic and mesenteric veins, which were not detectable at the preoperative phlebography.
