microscopic varicocelectomy under local anesthesia as the treatment of varicocele

With the advancement of modern society, male infertility has gradually emerged as a global health issue, with varicocele being one of the predominant causes. The prevalence of varicocele is estimated at 15% in the general healthy population, 35% in those with primary infertility, and can be as high as 80% in the secondary infertility group1. Not only does varicocele lead to a decline in sperm count and quality2, but it also profoundly impacts the psychological well-being and quality of life of affected men.
Contemporary treatment modalities, such as microscopic varicocelectomy, have been widely adopted3,4. However, their limitations are becoming increasingly evident. Traditional microscopic varicocelectomy requires patients to undergo general anesthesia, which not only necessitates preoperative fasting and postoperative recovery inconveniences but also poses a significant challenge. The hemodynamic changes induced by anesthesia might obscure the pulsations of the spermatic artery, subsequently increasing the intricacy of isolating and preserving the vessel during the procedure5.
In light of these challenges, a method of performing microscopic varicocelectomy under local anesthesia was proposed and implemented. The salient advantage of this unique approach lies in its ability to swiftly and accurately pinpoint the pulsating spermatic artery, thus reducing the risk of injury to the vessel. Furthermore, local anesthesia offers a more patient-centric surgical experience, sidestepping the adverse effects of general anesthesia, and potentially reducing medical costs, presenting a more cost-effective and efficient treatment option. Additionally, considering the practical realities and clinical experiences in China, this innovative method proffers a fresh perspective in the treatment of varicocele and holds promise for broader clinical application. Through this research, a safer and more effective treatment alternative for patients would be provided, aiming to enhance their reproductive capabilities and overall quality of life.

Mikroskopisk åderbråckselektomi under lokalbedövning som behandling av varicocele

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.
