Varicocele is linked to 35%to 40%of male infertility cases during reproductive years. The globally accepted approach for treating this condition is through a microscopic varicocelectomy conducted under general anesthesia. This protocol demonstrates this surgery using local anesthesia to improve patient comfort and reduce financial costs.
This new one should significantly shorten the required surgery time and offers opportunities for patients who cannot undergo general anesthesia. Under local anesthesia, we can more clearly observe the positions of symptomatic arteriole, which helps us make more a precise resolution and protection. We will focus on the changes in the small non-encoding RNAs after the surgery, because many patients seem to improve after surgery but still cannot conceive naturally.
Based on our preliminary research, we speculate that small non-encoding RNAs may play an important role in this process.
