“…It has been shown that spermatogenesis, fertility and testicular volume improved after varicocele ligation in adults and adolescents [14,15]. Kass and Belman [6] determined that testicular atrophy could be reversed by the repair of the varicocele.…”

Comparison of Testicular Volumes before and after Varicocelectomy

We attempted to determine the testicular volume changes in patients with unilateral varicocele, before and after varicocelectomy. Testicular volume differences were correlated for each group of varicocele grade. 123 men with a unilateral left varicocele were presented for surgery: 36 had grade I, 49 had grade II, and 38 had grade III varicoceles. A Prader orchidometer was used for testicular volume determination before and after varicocelectomy in each patient. Both left and right testicular volumes were compared. After the repair of grade I varicoceles, an improvement in testicular volumes was noticed, but the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Both right and left testicular volumes increased significantly after operation in patients with grades II and III varicoceles (p < 0.001). Right testicular volume improved more than left in most of the patients. Men with large varicocele had significantly decreased testicular volumes than men with small varicocele before operation. So testicular growth arrest was more significant in patients with large varicocele and postoperative results indicated a more dramatic improvement.

“…No significant changes were noted in either sperm morphology or ejaculate volume and, unlike varicocele (Scott, 1958(Scott, , 1960b, there was no apparent effect on sperm motility. The sperm counts of the thirty-four cases of postpubertal unilateral maldescent are shown in Table 1.…”

Seminal studies carried out in thirty-four cases of untreated, post-pubertal, unilateral cryptorchidism have revealed a high incidence of sterility and severely impaired fertility, while the seminal findings of six cases of retractile testis showed no diminution of fertility.Testicular biopsies, carried out in two retractile testes, confirmed their normality, while similar studies of seven pubertal retained testes and nine pubertal ectopie testes showed that spermatogenesis is more severely damaged in the former than it is in the latter. Further biopsy studies of eight contralateral gonads in unilateral cryptorchids have disclosed an unexpectedly high incidence of spermatogenic arrest in the so-called normally descended opposite testis.
