Abstract
Varicocele is one of the most common causes of infertility in men. A large number of varicocele patients are asymptomatic and discovered after examination by physician because of infertility. This paper reviews the most recent data available on the management of varicocele. It will discuss the advantages and limitations associated with each treatment modality for varicocele. The most common therapeutic methods are surgical ligation and embolization of internal spermatic veins. Embolization of internal spermatic veins is a minimally invasive procedure, performed on outpatient basis, under local anesthesia, the recovery period of patients is short, and the risk of complications is minimal. The use of embolization can provide a safe and effective approach aiming to eliminate varicocele, preserve testicular function and increase fertility.
