Answer
Varicocele surgery is not considered a dangerous procedure; it is actually a very common and safe operation with a high success rate. Modern surgical methods, particularly the microsurgical technique, have significantly minimized the risks involved. Of course, like any surgery, there are potential complications, but they are infrequent. These can include a small risk of infection, bleeding, or the formation of a hydrocele (fluid around the testicle). One of the key benefits of microsurgery is that the surgeon uses a powerful microscope to get a clear view of the tiny veins and arteries.
This allows them to precisely tie off only the problematic veins while carefully protecting the testicular artery and lymphatic vessels, which drastically reduces the chances of more serious complications. The vast majority of patients have a smooth procedure and recovery. The skilled surgical team at SCI Hospital prioritizes patient safety above all else.
