Patients and methods: Fifty consecutivepatients underwent local anaesthetic day case varicocele embolisationvia a right femoral approach. Venous anatomy was identified andclassified. Morbidity and recurrence were recorded at three monthclinical follow up. Results: The procedure was technicallysuccessful in 94% of the patients. The varicocele recurred in16%, the majority of whom had complex venous anatomy. 8% of thepatients complained of discomfort at follow up.
