Summary “But when the disease has spread also over the testicle and its cord the testicle sinks a little lower, and becomes smaller than its fellow, in as much as its nutrition has become defective.” Amelius Cornelius Celsus (42BC‐37 AD) “Varicocele is a compact pack of vessels quite filled with melancholic blood.” Ambroise Pare (1550)
