Objectives: To describe a case of right testicular vein thrombosis in a child and to review the literature describing similar cases and their management.

Methods: An extensive literature review of the English language literature was conducted using the following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar.

Results: Six cases were reported previously and summarized in this article.

Conclusion: A 14-year-old boy who suffered from spontaneous right testicular vein thrombosis was treated with right orchiectomy and oral anticoagulation. We also reviewed and summarized the previously described cases of pediatric testicular vein thrombosis.

Objective: Aim: Using morphometric methods to study the features of endotheliocyte remodeling of the arterial and venous beds of the testicles during long-term ethanol intoxication.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Endotheliocytes of the arterial and venous bed of the left and right testes of 60 white male rats, which were divided into two groups, were morphologically studied. The 1 group consisted of 30 intact animals, the 2 - 30 rats, which were daily intragastrically injected with a 30 % ethanol solution at the rate of 2 ml per 100 g of the animal's weight for 28 days.

Transcatheter retrograde testicular vein embolisation for symptomatic varicoceles is well-established but has a documented failure rate. Percutaneous anterograde varicocele embolisation may be a suitable alternative. A retrospective observational, descriptive study of consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous anterograde varicocele embolisation at a single centre was performed.

Introduction: Among the different options for varicocele surgery, microsurgical varicocelectomy demonstrates the best results, but a relapse is subsequently detected in 1-3% of cases. It was previously believed that the cause of recurrence lies in the presence of various sources of venous outflow from the testicle, but recent studies show that the collaterals of the gonadal vein are the main reason of recurrence.

Purpose Of The Study: to determine the leading cause of recurrence, to evaluate the effectiveness and optimal surgical tactics depending on the method of primary treatment.
