Patient's question:
High ligation surgery for varicocele, varicose veins on the left side, the doctor suggested I have the high ligation surgery. I want to ask if this surgery leaves scars? If it does, where would the scars be? Can it be fully recovered? Besides, will it relapse? What are the possible postoperative complications?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description of the situation: The current surgical method for varicocele repair uses laparoscopic minimally invasive techniques, with a low recurrence rate. A 1cm incision is placed at the umbilicus, and two 0.5cm small incisions are made on both sides below the umbilicus. Postoperatively, the incision surface does not require debridement, absorbable sutures are used under the skin, and the epidermis can be sealed with medical adhesive. If you are not prone to keloid formation, it is generally unlikely to leave any scars.
