Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

varicoclelectomy is done for subfertiltiy and varicocele induced orchialgia. The effect of varicocelectomy on semen analysis is controversial. Many articles report favorable outcomes and others do not.
