What is Varicocele Embolization?
Varicocele Embolization is a non-invasive technique. This restricts blood flow to the dilated veins in the scrotum. The therapy relieves the pressure, alleviates the pain, and protects the testicular function.
It is done by Dr. Kunal Arora using a sophisticated imaging technique to implant small coils or agents that occlude the veins causing the problem. We provide the best Varicocele Embolisation treatment in Mumbai, which is a reliable solution for varicocele as it gives a quick back-to-work time, minimal pain, and no visible scars.
How’s the Procedure Done?
- Local anaesthesia is administered at the site of the procedure to numb the area.
- A small nick is made in the groin to place a thin catheter.
- Using fluoroscopy, an image-guided X-ray technology, the catheter is guided through the femoral vein to access the affected testicular vein.
- A contrast dye is injected to have a clear picture of the vein structure and locate the varicocele.
- Tiny coils or a solution of a sclerosant are inserted to seal the abnormal veins.
- Once the veins are closed, blood circulation through them ceases, decreasing pressure and curing the varicocele.
Comparison Between Microsurgery and Embolization
| Aspect | Microsurgery | Embolization |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery Period | Healing usually takes nearly 2 to 3 weeks | Most patients recover within 1 or 2 days |
| Resuming Exercise | Physical activity can begin after 10 to 14 days | Physical activity can begin after 7 to 10 days |
| Resuming Sexual Activity | Sexual activity can resume after 4 weeks | Sexual activity can resume after 1 to 2 weeks |
Benefits of Varicocele Embolization
Enlarged testicular veins treatment in Mumbai is a day-care procedure. The team of highly-skilled specialists performs the surgery with local anaesthesia and IV. Patients do not need general anaesthesia and can easily lie down comfortably.
A small incision is made, and a thin catheter is placed into the dilated vein with the help of imaging guidance. This makes the intervention easy and precise.
The risk of adverse reactions is reduced with this minimally invasive method.
The majority of patients recover quite rapidly and are usually discharged for their usual activities the next day after the operation.
Ideal Candidate for Varicocele Embolization
- When an adult with a varicocele is suffering from testicular pain, swelling, or discomfort, a surgical intervention may be an ideal option.
- Patients having infertility caused by varicocele might be assisted by this method.
- Patients with the desire for a procedure that is minimally invasive, with low pain, and a short recovery period are considered eligible.
- Those people who are against traditional operation but want a precise, image-assisted treatment can have an appointment with our specialist to find out more about this therapy.
A consultation with our doctor, Dr. Kunal Arora, assists in determining eligibility based on medical background and current condition.
Limitations of Varicocele Embolization
- A small percentage of patients, roughly 5 to 10%, can have a recurrence of varicocele after the procedure.
- The rate of recurrence is still similar to that of conventional surgery procedures.
- In occasional cases, fewer than 5%, the catheter will not be able to reach the precise position necessary to block the affected area.
- Technical difficulties due to vein anatomy can sometimes prevent the full success of the treatment.
- Follow-up and imaging studies at regular intervals assist in picking up recurrence or inadequate closure of the vein early.
