A member asked:

Would a right-sided surgical inguinal hernia repair result in a right-sided varicocele?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some ...: If there was no right varicocele before right inguinal herniorrhaphy, there would be no surgically anatomical reason to cause right varicocele, but some post-herniorrhaphy hydrocele is likely.
