How long does varicocele surgery take?

The incidence of varicocele is relatively high among male friends. If the varicocele is severe, it may affect male infertility. Therefore, many men choose to undergo surgical treatment when suffering from this disease, hoping to cure the disease as soon as possible. However, due to the special location of the operation, many people are still quite nervous. So how long does the varicocele operation take? Let’s take a look together below!

The incidence of varicocele accounts for 10% of the male population aged 30 to 40. 90% of cases occur on the left side and are caused by congestion of blood flow in the spermatic vein, which causes the venous plexus to dilate, become tortuous, and become longer. Varicocele can also be caused by a kidney tumor. The reason why varicocele deserves attention is that it may be accompanied by testicular atrophy and sperm production disorders, leading to infertility.

Minimally invasive treatment:

1. Visual operation without damaging normal tissues: Because the operation is completed under the computer navigation system, it is in a completely visual state, and the lesion site can be accurately found without damaging other normal tissues.

2. Minimally invasive and painless, with almost no bleeding during the operation: the trauma is very small and no sutures are required.

3. The treatment time is only 15 minutes, and the three-year recurrence rate is only 0.86%: A postoperative follow-up survey of patients with varicose veins showed that the surgery has a good cure effect, the three-year recurrence rate is only 0.86%, and the pregnancy rate is significantly improved.

4. Pay attention to rest: It is generally recommended to rest in bed for about 5 days after the operation. At the same time, you should pay special attention when turning over and getting up, and do not use abdominal strength. If there are no special circumstances, the stitches will be removed after one week.

The above introduces some questions about how long it takes to undergo surgery for varicocele. Although some minor problems do not require surgical treatment, professional treatment is still required to have a better effect on the patient's recovery. In addition, if the surgery is performed in time, there is no need to worry too much. Technology is advanced now, so there is no need to be too nervous.
