[Doppler study in the evaluation of results of varicocele treatment in teenagers].

Abstract

Results of treatment in 62 patients with varicocele were evaluated with anamnestic, physical and Doplerographic data. Recurrence of varicocele was seen after the Palomo surgery in 4.9% patients. Hydrocele reoccured after surgery in 2 teenagers. Doppler study revealed that 37.5% patients had orthostatic extravasal obstruction of the left renal vein in the aortomesenterial "forceps" (0.15 +/- 0.03 cm, p > 0.05) with a significant decrease in volumetric blood flow velocity by 44 +/- 30.01 ml/min. Postsurgical signs of venous renal hypertension were seen in 2 patients. Doppler ultrasound study more objectively evaluate long-term results of varicocele treatment.
