A total of two hundred and twenty-eight patients suffering from sinistral varicocele were diagnosed with renal phlebohypertension pressure varying from 10/8 (9) to 30/28 (29) mmHg and stenosis (18), retroaortal compression (12), aortomesenteric compression (198) of the left renal vein with dilatation of the left testicular vein (198). The following operations aimed at the formation of vein-to-vein anastomoses were performed: a testiculoiliac anastomosis (182), testicular-inferior-epigastric anastomosis (22) and renocaval anastomosis (5). The operation according to the Ivanissevich's technique was carried out in nineteen patients. Varicocele was removed in all the operated on patients. A catamnestic follow-up examination was carried out in ninety-six operated on patients, and in eighty-two cases, hypertension in the left renal vein was eliminated.
