Here are some...: Was your varicocelectomy done for infertility or varicocele-related symptoms? So decide if you need its correction. Theoretically, repeating varicocelectomy is doable but making sure it be done under microscope so to assure ridding all veins and avoiding collateral injury to testicular arteries. But in reality, more procedures heal with more scar leading to higher possible local surgical risks...
