Role of Preoperative Testicular Shear Wave Elastography in Predicting Improvement of Semen Parameters After Varicocelectomy for Male Patients With Primary Infertility.

Objective: To evaluate the role of preoperative testicular shear wave elastography (SWE) in the prediction of improvement of semen analysis parameters after subinguinal microsurgical varicocele ligation in patients with primary infertility and clinically detectable varicocele.

Patients And Methods: Testicular SWE before the surgical intervention was done. Forty-eight patients were scheduled for subinguinal microsurgical varicocele ligation as a treatment option.

Single versus multiple instillation of povidone iodine and urographin in the treatment of chyluria: A prospective randomised study.

Objective: To compare the safety, efficacy and complications of single vs multiple instillations of povidone iodine (PI) and urographin as a sclerosing agent in the treatment of chyluria.

Patients And Methods: The study included 58 patients diagnosed with chyluria between March 2006 and January 2013. The inclusion criteria were either severe attacks of chyluria or patients with mild-to-moderate chyluria who had failed conservative treatment.
