Summary:We made examinations (physical, clinical and laboratory) of 301 senior children and adolescents with varicocele admitted to Research Institute of Urology for the last 5 years. Spermatogenesis was assessed by WHO criteria for healthy men. 78% of the patients were operated by Ivanissevich, 22% received sclerotherapy. Sperm motility and morphological parameters were found subnormal. Taking into consideration relative subfertility of the patients, surgical results were positive. We continue follow-up of the patients and plan further studies of spermatogenesis.
