“…However, interestingly, multivariate analysis did not reveal any association between the varicocele and body habitus. Our finding is in accordance with that from a recent study from Greece (32) in which no significant difference in mean height was found between the schoolboys with and without varicocele. The discrepancy in the varicocele-height connection between the white European males and the Mediterranean males may be a result of genetic or environmental differences.…”

“…These results need further evaluation with studies including more obese participants. In contrast to the results of other previous studies, Stavropoulos et al (22) examined 2376 school children (range 9-16 years) and detected varicocele in 98 of them. In that study, children with varicocele had a significantly lower body weight and there was no differences related to height (22).…”

Indigo Carmine Dye-Assisted Lymphatic-Sparing Laparoscopic Palomo Varicocelectomy In Children

: The ideal method for varicocelectomy in children remains controversial. We present our experience with dye-assisted lymphatic-sparing laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LSLV) in children, which overcomes the limitations of previously described techniques. Materials and methods : Five consecutive LSLVs were performed over a period of three years on children with a mean age of twelve years. The varicocele grade was three in one case and grade 2 in four cases, respectively. A left subdartos injection of 2 ml of Indigo carmine dye was done using a 25-gauge needle at ten minutes before an operation. A scrotal injection of lymphatic dye was utilized to spare at least one lymphatic and the remaining spermatic vessels were divided. Results : Lymphatic-sparing was accomplished in all cases. No peri-operative complication was noted. We spared one lymphatic channel in one patient (20% %) and two channels in four patients (80% %). There were no cases of hydrocele or residual varicocele. Conclusion : Dye-assisted LSLV is easily accomplished with an excellent surgical outcome and sparing one or two lymphatics appears to be sufficient to avoid secondary hydrocele. J. Med.
