How to perform surgery for testicular varicose veins

The surgery for testicular varicose veins mainly blocks the abnormally dilated veins to improve blood return. Common surgical methods include microsurgery, high ligation and laparoscopic surgery. Different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages and need to be selected according to the patient's condition.

1. Microsurgery

Microsurgery is currently the gold standard for treating testicular varicose veins. This technique is performed with the help of a microscope and can clearly identify veins, arteries, and lymphatic vessels, reducing damage to normal tissues and reducing the incidence of postoperative recurrence and complications. The surgery is usually performed with an opening in the groin to ligate or cut off the abnormally dilated spermatic vein. The surgery has a small incision and a short recovery time, making it suitable for patients with severe symptoms.

2. High ligation

High ligation is a traditional treatment method. The surgical incision is usually located in the groin or lower abdomen. The spermatic vein is directly located and the abnormal vein is ligated or cut off to improve blood return. Since there is no surgical microscope, the testicular artery may be accidentally injured or lymphatic circulation may be blocked. The recurrence rate is relatively high, but it is suitable for areas with limited medical resources or simple equipment.

3. Laparoscopic surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that involves inserting a laparoscope and surgical tools through several small holes in the abdomen, allowing for clear observation of the abdominal cavity and accurate ligation of dilated veins. This method is less invasive and has a quick recovery, making it suitable for patients who are not suitable for open surgery. However, it requires experienced physicians to operate, and care must be taken to avoid complications of organ damage after surgery.

During the postoperative recovery period, strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor should be avoided. At the same time, maintaining good living habits can help reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence, such as avoiding standing for long periods of time or maintaining a static posture. Surgery is not suitable for all patients with testicular varicose veins. Patients with mild symptoms can improve their symptoms by adjusting their lifestyle and taking medication.

When choosing a surgical plan, you should comprehensively evaluate the severity of the disease, your personal constitution and the doctor's advice, clarify the treatment plan through examination at a regular hospital, and actively cooperate with postoperative care to ensure recovery results.
