The term varicocele describes a dilated, tortuous and elongated pampiniform plexus of veins, which is well known in relation to the spermatic cord. Recently varicocele has also been observed inside the testis, and this new entity is known as intra-testicular varicocele. We present a case of intra-testicular varicocele presenting as acute scrotum and discuss the management issues.

Lymphatic-sparing Palomo procedure with intra-testicular injection of indocyanine green (ICG) has shown good results but the injection might harm the testes. This article describes the results of twelve consecutive patients where visualization and sparing were carried out successfully with para-testicular injection of ICG. Procedural details are reported thoroughly.

Purpose: The lymphatic preservation to prevent hydrocele formation after laparoscopic varicocelectomy is essential. Lymphatic sparing procedures using scrotal injection give a rate of mapping failures of 20%-30%. The aim of the present study is to standardize the technique of injection to perform a lymphatic sparing procedure in case of laparoscopic varicocelectomy.

Objective: To study the effect of PDRN on angiogenesis in a model of varicocele in rats.
Design: After the creation of experimental varicocele, rats were randomized to one of the four treatments: vehicle, PDRN, DMPX, and PDRN plus DMPX. Twenty-one days after randomization, all animals were euthanized and the left testis was harvested.
