Varicocele is a condition in which the veins inside the scrotum—the loose pouch of skin that holds the testicles—become enlarged. This condition may affect testicular growth, reduce sperm production, and cause other complications that increase the risk of infertility. To prevent these complications, surgery is often recommended as one of the treatment options for varicocele.
If you are seeking consultation and treatment for varicocele, one of the recommended doctors in Jakarta and Tangerang is dr. Sigit Sholichin, SpU, FICRS, who practices at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.

Varicocele Treatment at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
There are several surgical methods for varicocele treatment that doctors usually recommend depending on each patient’s medical condition and needs:
1. Varicocelectomy
This is an open surgical procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. The doctor makes an incision in the groin, abdomen, or upper thigh to access the varicocele area.
With the help of ultrasound and a microscope, blood flow from the testicles is redirected to healthy veins, bypassing the damaged ones. After surgery, patients usually experience only mild discomfort and can return to normal activities relatively quickly.
2. Laparoscopy
This minimally invasive procedure involves making a small incision in the abdomen. Through this incision, the doctor inserts special surgical instruments to repair the affected veins.
3. Varicocele Embolization
This procedure involves inserting a catheter (small tube) into a blood vessel in the neck or groin. Through the catheter, the doctor places surgical instruments to block the problematic veins using either special coils or chemical agents.
4. Microsurgical Varicocelectomy
Microsurgical varicocelectomy is a minimally invasive surgery performed using an advanced operating microscope. This technique is often recommended for treating varicocele, which involves dilated veins around the scrotum that can impact male fertility.
In this procedure, the doctor makes a small incision at the base of the groin on the affected side of the scrotum. Through this incision, the enlarged veins are identified and tied off using special techniques to restore normal blood flow.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, microsurgical procedures are performed using an automatic balancing microscope that ensures stable visuals throughout surgery. This microscope can magnify images up to 10 times with sharp clarity, allowing doctors to work with higher precision. Thanks to this technology, surgery time is shorter and recovery is faster.
For hygiene and safety, the microscope is always covered with a sterile plastic drape during the procedure.
