We hypothesized that infertile men with varicoceles have molecular/genetic defects that interact with varicoceles to induce infertility. Studies directly on testis tissue appeared to be a way to link histology, markers for molecular/genetic defects and spermatogenesis, but testis biopsies may induce morbidity. In this report, we present safety and efficacy data on ultrasonically guided, single stick, percutaneous aspiration.
