Abstract
Arteriovenous conflicts of the ileocecal segment are a frequent cause of recurrent and bilateral varicocele. Insufficient and untimely diagnosis of varicocele causes in this group of patients leads to multiple repeated surgical interventions due to recurrence. This paper presents a clinical case of successful fertility of a 30-year-old patient with bilateral varicocele and testicular hypotrophy on the background of Mey–Thurner syndrome by two-stage surgical treatment including transsclerotal ligation of testicular veins, angioplasty and stenting of the left common iliac vein.
