We describe two cases of left-sided ovarian varicocele in patients with infertility. Pregnancy occurred in both women after successful retrograde venous embolization. Ovarian varicocele may be associated with infertility in some patients.

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence technology in pediatric robotic surgery.
J Robot Surg
May 2024
Division of Pediatric Surgery, Federico II University Hospital, Via Pansini 5, 80131, Naples, Italy.
This study aimed to report our experience in indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in pediatric robotics. The data of 55 patients (35 boys and 20 girls), who underwent robotic surgery using ICG fluorescence in three institutions over the last 7 years, were retrospectively reviewed. The following robotic procedures were included: pyeloplasty (n = 21), complex Lich-Gregoir ureteral reimplantation (n = 8), varicocelectomy (n = 7), adnexal pathology resection (n = 8), partial nephrectomy (n = 4), nephrectomy (n = 4), renal cyst removal (n = 2), and excision of prostatic utricle (n = 1).

Article Synopsis
- Oxidative stress occurs when there's an excess of reactive oxygen species compared to antioxidants, leading to cell and tissue damage.
- Nrf2 is a key protein that regulates protective genes in response to oxidative stress but is often degraded by another protein called kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1.
- Research suggests that targeting Nrf2 may offer therapeutic benefits in treating infertility issues related to oxidative stress in both females (such as polycystic ovarian syndrome) and males (like varicocele).
Colour Doppler Sonography of the Ovarian Vein: Recognition and Associated Lesions.
Curr Med Imaging
August 2024
Department of Ultrasonography, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, No.324, Jingwu Road, Jinan, Shandong, 250021, China.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of colour Doppler sonography for ovarian veins. The clinical incidence of ovarian venous lesions is relatively low and often overlooked. The ovarian veins are located deep in the pelvis, and they are relatively elongated, which could make medical imaging more difficult.

Pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI) is frequently associated with symptoms of abdominal pain or discomfort that is overlooked or under-diagnosed in women. Despite the fact that pelvic venous insufficiency in men is very well documented, its occurrence in women needs to be further studied. Patients with pelvic varicose veins undergo a long and inconclusive diagnostic work-up before the exact cause of the symptoms is identified.

A male patient in his late 20s was admitted to the hospital after presenting with left abdominal, back and scrotal pain that had begun approximately 2 weeks earlier. He had a history of a stable left testicular mass for 3 years, and a physical exam revealed a non-tender, firm left testicular mass and a mild left varicocele. Testicular tumour markers were normal, but a scrotal ultrasound revealed a 2 cm hypoechoic left testicular lesion.
