[Modified technique of the Ivanissevich operation for varicocele in children].

On the basis of the results of rheotesticulographic studies in 38 children with left-sided II-III degree varicocele, the impairment in hemodynamics in the testicle at the involved side was established. No suppression of androgen function of the organ was revealed. The expediency to perform in patients of pediatric and young age the Ivanissevich operation, the effectiveness of which is increased in use of intraoperative phlebotesticulography was noted. The effective method for varicocele treatment in children has been suggested. The testicular vein is ligated near the deep inguinal ring as well as at the level of the upper third, then it is excised between the ligatures together with the deviating branches. The method was used in treatment of 120 patients with II-III degree varicocele. No disease recurrence is noted during 1.5 years.
