Evolving role of varicocele repair in the era of assisted reproduction
As the most common etiology of male factor infertility present in approximately one-half of infertile men, the varicocele represents one of the simplest, most cost-effective, and most effective avenues of treatment for an infertile couple and therefore should be actively sought out by reproductive medicine providers. The varicocele has been recognized as a cause of infertility since the late 19th century, with the first report of varicocele repair leading to natural pregnancy being published in 1929 (1).
