What does microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy involve?

This procedure uses a high-magnification operating microscope to identify and ligate (tie off) dilated veins in the spermatic cord through a small incision just above the penis. The microscope allows the surgeon to precisely preserve the testicular artery and lymphatic vessels, which reduces the risk of complications like testicular atrophy or hydrocele formation. It is performed under general or regional anesthesia and typically takes 1–2 hours as a day surgery or with an overnight stay.
