Clinical Trial Summary

Varicocele is a major contributor in male infertility. The improvement of sperm parameters after varicocelectomy supports this contribution. The pathophysiological mechanisms of varicocele-induced male infertility are still under investigation. Cystatin C (Cys C) and endoglin are secreted glycoproteins that recently linked to several cellular changes common in varicocele like apoptosis and autophagy.

Description:

Subinguinal varicocelectomy under general anesthesia and complete aseptic condition was done to infertile men with varicocele
