Varicocelectomy is the most commonly performed operation for
the treatment of male infertility. The causes of varicocele are multifactorial,
but in the end, the result is a pathological dilatation of the veins draining
the testicles. Many surgical approaches are used as each of them has advantages
over the other and is preferred by surgeons. Vascular injury has never been
reported as a complication of varicocelectomy apart from testicular artery
injury. We present a 36-year-old male who developed leg ischemia
post-varicocelectomy due to a common femoral artery injury. He was successfully
treated by using a vein graft. In a literature review, over 5,000 patients
pooled from 33 studies of varicocelectomy were evaluated. There were no
vascular complications, and scrotal hematoma was very rare.
