Jul 31, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
this procedure is done also in lebanon check with your doctor about your treatment options and what is good for you and ask for a refferal to an interventional radiologist .
however this is a study of the results between the two procedure
Embolization is equally effective in improving male infertility and costs about the same as surgical ligation. Pregnancy rates and recurrence rates are comparable to those following surgical varicocelectomy. In one study, sixty percent conceived who were treated for infertility.

In another study, sperm concentration improved in 83 percent of patients undergoing mbolization compared to 63 percent of those surgically ligated.
Average of one to two days for complete recovery for embolization, compared to two to three weeks for surgery
24 percent of surgical ligation patients required overnight hospital stay, compared to none for embolization
