Objective: We evaluated our method and effects of needle laparoscopic varicocelectomy for the treatment of varicocele.
Methods: 72 patients (105 lateral) diagnosed varicocele were performed laparoscopic varicocelectomy under epidural combined intravenous anesthesia from Feb, 2003 to Apr, 2005. Two 2 mm incisions and one 5 mm incision were made on the midline of lower abdomen, by which two 2 mm trocars and one 5 mm trocar were introduced. Vessel-sealing device (Ligasure) was used to seal the internal spermatic veins.
Results: All operations were completed successfully. Mean operation time was 15 minutes unilateral and 21 minutes bilateral. The patients were hospitalized for 3 to 5 days after procedure. Follow-up was scheduled for 6 to 12 months and there was no recurrence.
Conclusion: Needle laparoscopic varicocelectomy gives favorable effect with minimal invasion, rapid recovery, which is the best choice for the treatment of varicocele.

Background Varicocele, characterised by the abnormal dilation of the pampiniform plexus of scrotal veins, is a prevalent and treatable cause contributing to male infertility, affecting 40% of men experiencing primary infertility and 80% of those with secondary infertility.

Surgical interventions such as open, laparoscopic, or microsurgical varicocelectomy aim to eliminate venous reflux into the scrotum.
