Internet-Based Patient Survey on Urolithiasis Treatment and Patient Satisfaction.

abstract：:Because it is still a puzzling debate whether ligation of a unilateral varicose spermatic vein is worth performing by laparoscopy, even with the two-port technique, we conducted a study in which 280 patients with palpable left varicoceles were treated with spermatic vein ligation either by open surgery (120 patients) ...
