Popis: A new technique for surgical treatment of primary and recurrent varicocele is proposed. The technique consists of direct anastomosis of two or three dilated veins of the pampiniform plexus with the great saphenous vein. A connection between a high venous pressure region and a lower pressure region is established. Twenty-five patients were operated on, 7 with recurrent varicocele and 18 with primary varicocele. The immediate and long-term results (6 year follow-up) have always been good.
