Varicocele is widely recognized as the leading cause of male infertility due to its significant impact on reproductive health in men. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the diameter of the varicose vein and the recovery rate of the spermogram after varicocelectomy.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined the diameter of the meatus (urinary opening) before and after circumcision to identify the occurrence of meatal stenosis (narrowing of the meatus) in boys.
  • It involved 400 participants, with 10.3% developing meatal stenosis post-circumcision, most of whom had a meatus diameter of 4 mm or less before the procedure.
  • The findings indicate a significant link between a smaller pre-circumcision meatus diameter and increased risk of stenosis, recommending preventive measures for those at greater risk.

Background: Many factors including vasoconstrictor agents can interfere with wound healing process. This study aimed to compare the histopathological outcome of injection of two sympathomimetic drugs used during urologic surgery, including phenylephrine and epinephrine, on the structure of spongy tissue and urethra in a rat model of experimental hypospadias repair using stereological methods.

Methods: Male rats were allocated into three groups.
