Microsurgical varicocele ligation: surgical methodology and associated outcomes
The impact of clinical varicoceles on semen parameters and male infertility has long been established.

This article presents the stepwise operative approaches to microsurgical varicocelectomy and discusses the recent publications on outcomes.
