Two surgery approaches for enlarged veins affecting fertility
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques to treat bilateral varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum) that may be causing infertility. The goal is to see which approach works better and causes fewer complications.
