One year after varicocele surgery, it is unlikely that the current symptoms will progress any further. Generally after surgery for recurrence, a review is performed at 3 months and if there is a recurrence the patient may have recurred; after one year without recurrence it is unlikely that the recurrence will continue, indicating that the patient’s entire ligated spermatic veins are comprehensive and not a single varicose vein is missed. For varicocele, most of the current surgical methods are laparoscopic high ligation of the spermatic veins or microscopic high ligation of the spermatic veins, both of which are very unlikely to miss a ligation of the spermatic veins and are unlikely to recur. The conventional inguinal incision has a higher recurrence rate because some veins may be missed during the procedure.
