Varicocele repair surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at correcting varicoceles, which are enlarged veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins. In Los Angeles, Dr. Ali Afshar, a respected Urologic Oncology Surgeon, provides expert varicocele repair surgery, offering men relief from symptoms and an opportunity for improved fertility outcomes. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing discomfort or those facing challenges with fertility linked to varicoceles.
Understanding Varicoceles and Their Impact
Varicoceles can cause a range of symptoms, including:
Pain
Aching pain or discomfort, especially after standing or sitting for long periods, which may improve when lying down.
Swelling
Noticeable swelling or lumps in the scrotum.
Fertility Issues
Varicoceles can affect sperm production and quality, leading to fertility challenges.
The Goal of Varicocele Repair Surgery
The primary objectives of varicocele repair surgery are to eliminate discomfort and improve the conditions that affect fertility by restoring proper blood flow. This is achieved by ligating (tying off) the enlarged veins to redirect blood flow into normal veins.
Effective Treatment for Improved Fertility and Pain Relief
Dr. Afshar employs advanced surgical techniques to perform varicocele repair, which may include:
Open Surgery (Varicocelectomy)
Performed under general or spinal anesthesia, using a small incision in the lower abdomen or groin.
Microsurgical Varicocelectomy
Utilizing a microscope to provide a highly precise repair with minimal risk of complications and improved recovery time.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Involving a few small incisions in the abdomen, offering a minimally invasive option with a quicker recovery period.
