Resumo: General occurrence of varicocele in healthy male population lies between 10 and 15% and percentage rises to 38% among males who seek assisted reproduction service. Varicocele is a condition that involves the swelling of the pampiniform plexus that drains blood from the testicles. Reverse blood flow is impaired by small contrary valves, while defects in the valves or compression may cause the swelling of the vessel and a decrease of the testicle volume. A physical examination is basic for diagnosis and should be undertaken in a non-refrigerated environment which favors relax of the scrotal muscle. Varicocele may be corrected by surgery or by percutaneous embolization. Assisted reproduction has produced success rates with regard to conception through the use of gametes obtained directly from the testicles. Early detection of alterations and surgery eliminate successfully more than 90% of varicocele. Surgery is still the best option for fertility with higher cost-benefit than any other assisted reproduction. Current paper is a bibliographical review to verify the prevalence of males suffering from infertility caused by varicocele, physiopathological processes, diagnostic treatments and importance of reproduction techniques in patients.

Entre homens que procuram um serviço de reprodução assistida essa taxa sobe para 38%. A varicocele é uma condição que envolve a dilatação do plexo pampiniforme, que drena o sangue dos testículos. O fluxo sanguíneo reverso é impedido por pequenas válvulas de sentido único. Defeitos nestas válvulas ou de compressão podem provocar dilatação do vaso e diminuição do volume testicular. O exame físico é fundamental para o seu diagnóstico e deve ser realizado em ambiente de temperatura não refrigerada, o que favorece o relaxamento da musculatura escrotal. A varicocele pode ser corrigida através do tratamento cirúrgico ou por embolização percutânea. A reprodução assistida demonstrou taxas de sucesso em relação à concepção, com o emprego de gametas obtidos diretamente dos testículos. A detecção precoce dessa alteração e seu tratamento cirúrgico eliminam com sucesso mais de 90% das varicoceles. Desta forma a correção cirúrgica permanece uma ótima opção para devolver a fertilidade ao casal com uma relação custo-benefício muito superior a qualquer procedimento de reprodução assistida. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho é verificar, através de uma revisão bibliográfica, a prevalência de homens com infertilidade causada pela varicocele, processos fisiopatológicos, diagnóstico, suas formas de tratamento e a importância do auxílio das técnicas de reprodução assistida nos pacientes afetados.
