What are the side effects of spermatic cord surgery?

Varicocele surgery, also known as varicocelectomy, is a minimally invasive ligation method. Through this surgery, the quality of male sperm and semen can be improved, the pregnancy rate can be increased, and the purpose of eugenics can be achieved. However, all surgeries have risks, and varicocelectomy will also have sequelae such as edema, testicular artery damage or recurrence. The following will give you a detailed introduction.

1. Cause edema

Varicose vein surgery uses laparoscopy to perform minimally invasive varicocele ligation, combined with intelligent computer navigation imaging system and microscopy technology, to perform double silk ligation 1cm-2cm above the internal ring opening of the retroperitoneal inguinal canal. It blocks the reflux of spermatogenic substances and reduces testicular temperature and venous pressure, thereby improving semen quality and increasing the natural pregnancy rate.

Patients with varicocele are prone to edema after surgery, which is mainly due to the impact of varicocelectomy on the patient's body. However, the harm of edema generally does not last too long. As long as the patient treats the symptoms after edema occurs, the swelling will disappear quickly.

2. Causes damage to the testicular artery

Patients with varicocele are prone to testicular artery damage after surgery. This is mainly because the patient's testicular artery is damaged during the operation. Once this happens, the patient's testicles will atrophy, and in severe cases, the patient will lack sperm. This is mainly caused by hormones damaged during surgery.

3. Prone to relapse

Patients with varicocele are prone to recurrence of the disease after surgery. This is because although the patient has been treated with varicocelectomy, if the surgeon lacks experience or the surgical method is relatively backward, it will easily lead to recurrence. Once this disease occurs, it will become extremely difficult to treat. Therefore, patients with varicocele must choose a hospital with better medical conditions to treat varicocele when undergoing this surgical treatment.
