Varicocele

This trial tests whether microscopic surgery to repair varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum) works better than antioxidant medication for men with cryptozoospermia—a condition where very few sperm are present in semen. About 69 men with clinical varicoceles will be randomly…

This study compared open surgery versus laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for varicocele, a condition where veins around the testicle become enlarged. 100 men aged 20–60 were randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. Researchers measured how long the operation took, how many d…

This study tested two surgical methods to repair varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum) in 60 men with fertility issues or pain. One group had a loupe-assisted surgery with a nitroglycerin spray to help see blood vessels, while the other had standard microscopic surgery. The…

This study tested whether an AI app (IVENUS) could correctly classify the severity of chronic vein disease from leg photos. Over 1,600 patients had their legs photographed, and the app's diagnosis was compared to that of experienced doctors. The goal was to see if the app could r…

This study tested whether breathing in a pain-relief medicine called Penthrox (methoxyflurane) can help reduce pain and anxiety during urologic procedures done with local anesthetic. Forty adult men having procedures like hydrocelectomy or testicular biopsy took part. The goal wa…

This study looks at whether levels of a protein called zonulin, found in blood and semen, differ between infertile men with and without varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum). Researchers will measure zonulin in 119 men and compare it with standard semen quality measures like…

This study looked at whether combined oral contraceptives (birth control pills) influence the development or worsening of chronic venous diseases, like varicose veins. Researchers followed 116 women taking different types of birth control pills. The goal was to see if these pills…
