| OBJECTIVE: In our study, we retrospectively analysed the effect of surgical varicocele repair on sperm analysis and fertility status of infertile patients in the late period.METHODS: We retrospectively searched the records of 240 patients who underwent surgical varicocele repair between January 2004 and June 2012 in Kars State Hospital and Kafkas University Faculty of Medicine. 148 patients with obtained full medical records, sperm analysis and doppler ultrasonography were included in the study. We could not reach the postoperative data of 46 patients and they were asked current status of fertility on the phone and invited to our department for new semen analysis. Couples whose pregnancies resulted with abortions after varicocele repair were accepted as fertile.RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 29.3 years ranging between 19 and 38 years old. Preoperative sperm analysis showed oligospermia, oligoasthenospermia and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia in 70.6%, 22.4% and 7% of cases, respectively. Postoperative semen anlaysis revealed improvements in at least one of sperm concentration, motility and morphology in 125 patients according to the WHO criteria and 80 of couples had spontaneous fertilization after varicocelectomy without any requirement of assisted reproductive techniques.CONCLUSION: Our study showed increase in parameters of semen analyses and spontaneous pregnancies in patients after varicocelectomy. We advise varicocelectomy to the infertile cases with varicoceles. |
