Prospective randomized comparison of transumbilical two-port laparoscopic and conventional laparoscopic varicocele ligation
We have established a novel method named transumbilical two-port laparoscopic varicocele ligation (TTLVL) for varicocele, which is still needed to evaluate. In this study, 90 patients with left idiopathic symptomatic varicoceles of grades II-III according to the Dubin grading system were randomly as...
