This short video from Perth Vascular Clinic provides an overview of varicocele embolisation, a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicoceles, enlarged veins within the scrotum that can cause discomfort and affect fertility.
Varicocele embolisation is performed under local anaesthetic and involves guiding a small catheter through a vein to block the abnormal testicular veins using coils or a sclerosant. The procedure avoids surgical incisions and offers a rapid recovery compared to open surgical ligation.
