Abstract

PURPOSE: To detect the recurrence rate of varicocele in infertile men with varicocelectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty of 94 infertile patients with varicocelectomy were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography. RESULTS: We found 60% recurrence of varicocele infertile men with varicocelectomy. The mean time after varicocelectomy was five years for the patients with recurrence, and seven years for patients without recurrence. CONCLUSION: Doppler sonography is a useful imaging modality in the examination of post-varicocelectomy infertile men without successful impregnation.

Özet

AMAÇ Varikoselektomi geçirmiş infertil olgularda rekürens oranını araştırmak. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Her iki hemiskrotumunu renkli Doppler ultrasonografi ile incelediğimiz 94 infertil erkekten 20’sinde varikoselektomi öyküsü bulunmaktaydı. BULGULAR Olguların %60’ında (12 olgu) rekürens saptadık. Varikoselektomiden sonra geçen ortalama süre rekürens gösterenlerde beş yıl, göstermeyenlerde yedi yıl idi. SONUÇ Varikoselektomi uygulansa bile impregnasyon oranının düşük olduğu infertil olgu grubunda Doppler ultrasonografi incelemenin rekürensi araştırmak açısından yararlı olduğunu gördük.
