Single Infrapubic Versus Bilateral Subinguinal Microsurgical Varicocelectomy
Single Infrapubic Versus Bilateral Subinguinal Approaches for Bilateral Microsurgical Varicocelectomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral varicocele is commonly treated by microsurgical varicocelectomy. The conventional bilateral subinguinal approach usually requires two separate skin incisions, one on each side. A single midline infrapubic approach may allow bilateral microsurgical repair through one incision and may reduce access-related morbidity.
This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare single infrapubic microsurgical bilateral varicocelectomy with conventional bilateral subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy in adult men with clinically palpable bilateral varicocele. The study will evaluate postoperative pain, analgesic requirement, time to return to normal daily activity, operative time, scar satisfaction, wound complications, recurrence, and other safety outcomes during follow-up.

Sperimentale: Single Infrapubic Microsurgical Bilateral Varicocelectomy
Participants allocated to this arm will undergo bilateral microsurgical varicocelectomy through a single midline infrapubic skin incision.
The right and left spermatic cords will be approached sequentially through the same incision under microscopic or high-magnification surgical loupes with microsurgical capability.
Dilated spermatic veins will be ligated while preserving the testicular artery or arteries, lymphatic vessels, vas deferens, and vasal vessels.

Comparatore attivo: Bilateral Subinguinal Microsurgical Varicocelectomy
Participants allocated to this arm will undergo conventional bilateral subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy through two separate standard subinguinal incisions, one on each side.
Each spermatic cord will be isolated at the subinguinal level under microscopic or high-magnification surgical loupes with microsurgical capability.
Dilated spermatic veins will be ligated while preserving the testicular artery or arteries, lymphatic vessels, vas deferens, and vasal vessels.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?
Misure di risultato primarie
Misura del risultato |
Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Postoperative Pain Score
Lasso di tempo: 6 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days after surgery
|
Postoperative pain will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale.
The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain.
Higher scores indicate worse postoperative pain.
|
6 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days after surgery
|
|
Analgesic Requirement
Lasso di tempo: During the first 7 postoperative days
|
Analgesic requirement will be assessed by recording the total number and dose of analgesic tablets and/or injections consumed by the participant during the first 7 postoperative days.
Higher analgesic use indicates greater postoperative analgesic requirement.
|
During the first 7 postoperative days
|
|
Time to Return to Normal Daily Activity
Lasso di tempo: From surgery until return to normal daily activity, assessed up to 30 days after surgery
|
Time to return to normal daily activity will be defined as the number of days from surgery until the participant resumes usual non-strenuous daily activities.
A shorter time indicates faster postoperative recovery.
|
From surgery until return to normal daily activity, assessed up to 30 days after surgery
|
|
Total Operative Time
Lasso di tempo: During surgery
|
Total operative time will be defined as the time from skin incision to completion of skin closure, measured in minutes.
|
During surgery

Scar Satisfaction and Cosmetic Outcome
Lasso di tempo: 6 months after surgery
|
Scar satisfaction and cosmetic outcome will be assessed using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale version 2.0.
The scale includes two components: the Patient Scale and the Observer Scale.
The Patient Scale assesses pain, itching, color, stiffness, thickness, and irregularity.
The Observer Scale assesses vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, and surface area.
Each item is scored from 1 to 10, where 1 indicates normal skin or no symptoms and 10 indicates the worst imaginable scar or the greatest difference from normal skin.
The total score for each component ranges from 6 to 60. Higher scores indicate worse scar quality and lower scar satisfaction.
|
6 months after surgery
|
|
Varicocele Recurrence
Lasso di tempo: 6 months after surgery
|
Varicocele recurrence will be assessed by clinical examination and/or color Doppler ultrasound.
Recurrence will be reported as the number and percentage of participants with recurrent varicocele.
|
6 months after surgery
|
|
Conversion or Access Failure
Lasso di tempo: During surgery
|
Conversion or access failure will be recorded when the allocated surgical approach cannot be completed as planned and an additional or alternative incision or approach is required to safely complete the procedure.
|
During surgery
|
|
Wound Complications
Lasso di tempo: Up to 30 days after surgery
|
Wound complications will be assessed by recording the occurrence of surgical site infection, hematoma, seroma, wound dehiscence, or delayed wound healing.
The outcome will be reported as the number and percentage of participants with any wound complication.
|
Up to 30 days after surgery
