[Evolution of the therapeutic management of varicoceles: Analysis of French national coding database (2006-2014)].

CONCLUSION: The analysis of French national database has confirmed a change in the therapeutic management of varicocele between 2006 and 2014. The minimally invasive treatment by radiological embolisation is currently favored in France and surgery pushed into the background. In 2014, more than one therapeutic management out of two was performed in interventional radiology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4. PMID: 26826770 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
