Secondary hydrocele: The risk is very low (less than 1%) since dissection of the spermatic cord is done under a microscope. Lymphatic tissues are not severed or ligated. Their ligatures are responsible for the appearance of a hydrocele. It can be corrected later, if necessary.
Persistent veins: It may have a persistence of dilated veins despite improved symptoms.
Recidivism: The risk of recurrence is low because of abnormal venous communications. Re intervention or embolization may be proposed.
Hematoma: A bruise is common, but a hematoma is rare. It may require drainage.
Infection: Wound infections are rare. Infected wounds can become hot, swollen, red, and painful, with significant drainage from the incision site, and patients may develop fever. If wounds become infected (usually 3 to 5 days after surgery), antibiotics may be needed.
Testicular atrophy: It is secondary to testicular ischemia since an arterial branch has been ligated It is exceptional after a varicocele cure by microscopy and micro-Doppler under inguinal. Spermatic arteries are usually all identified.
