Abstract：Varicocele is one of the most common benign diseases in young men which induced male infertility. At present, minimally invasive surgery is the most effective treatment and widely acknowledged by clinicians. However, there are still many controversies about choice of indications and surgical methods. In this review, we aim to summarize the issues currently associated with varicocele treatment by using minimally invasive surgery.
