The results of this method were compared with laparoscopic varicocelectomy results received from the literature. Open surgery has been found more advantageous according to the type of anesthesia, duration of the operation, complications and cost-effectiveness, There is no significant difference between two methods according to the time of returning to normal activity. But, postoperative analgesic requirement in open surgery is more than that of laparoscopic varicocelectomy. It is not known completely which method is best in varicocele treatment. But, in our clinic, open surgical ligation with Kelami's incision will be prefered in bilateral varicocelectomies until a certain concensus held about this treatment.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword]Conference Object269273WOS:A1997BJ15X00042N/A
