    Abstract Male infertility is a condition that has always been less studied and known than female infertility. Male infertility is increasingly present and increasingly diagnosed. Although several causes are known, to date about 40% of the causes are considered idiopathic. The worldwide denasality can only be slowed if awareness campaigns are implemented on all the diseases that can alter fertile potential, especially in young adolescents. Male infertility is, in addition, associated with several medical conditions. In particular, the association between infertility and testicular cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, and genetic diseases is well known. For this reason, fertility preservation should not be proposed or be only oncological in nature, as there are several diagnosable pediatric pathologies that are associated with altered fertile potential to whose patients we could offer a gamete preservation pathway. In this paper we propose our experience on fertility preservation in pediatric andrological diseases.

    Abstract Varicocele and varicocelectomy, and the clinical indications to treat it in pediatric age are still under discussion. Through the study of a recent work on the association between varicocele, hormones, and semen analysis, we comment on new results related to the management of varicocele in pediatric age In this new study, it has been reported that there is a correlation between abnormal semen analysis and FSH value, an association between abnormal semen analysis and other hormonal values (i.e. inhibin B) and an association between abnormal semen analysis and testicular volume. If these data are confirmed it is possible to suggest new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in the treatment of pediatric varicocele.

    Abstract Background: Varicocele is one of the most frequent andrological diseases in adolescents; laparoscopic varicocelectomy is a good option. The aim of this study is to investigate, report and evaluate surgical outcomes of laparoscopic technique in pediatric age using percutaneous instruments.
    Materials and methods: We report our experience with a new technique for varicocelectomy. I.R.B. approved the study. Patients with varicocele and testicular hypotrophy age between 9 and 16 years underwent laparoscopic varicocelectomy using a single transumbilical port for camera and 2 laparosocpic 2.5 mm percutaneous instruments. After dissection of lymphatic vessels and artery, veins were coagulated using monopolar hook. After the procedure a standard umbilical closure was performed using resorbable stiches, without suture into the percutaneous accesses. All patients underwent 2 controls visit at 3 and 6 months after surgery.
    Results: During the study period (April 2018-October 2019) 25 patients were treated; all patients were treated by the same surgeon. There were no cases of recurrence nor hydrocele. All patients reported a good post-op activity without pain and a good cosmetic result.
    Conclusion: This first small series report a new technique for varicocelectomy; our study demonstrate that this technique is safe without complications and it is associated with good cosmetic results.

    Abstract Introduction: Varicocele is one of the most frequent disease affecting the fertility potential; OBJECTIVE: the aim of this study is to assess the correlation between clinical and radiological grade of varicocele and hormonal values.
    Study design: The data about adolescents with left unilateral varicocele aged between 13 and 16 years, with Tanner stage V, followed at the Authors' Institution between September 2016 and September 2019 were investigated; inclusion and exclusion criteria were created. Patients underwent standard visit, Ultrasound, Doppler velocimetry and hormonal tests (at T0 and T1). Those patients with testicular hypotrophy underwent surgery.
    Results: During the study period, 75 subjects with left unilateral varicocele were enrolled; 8 patients were excluded.A total of 67 patients were then studied. Among these patients, 37 had testicular hypotrophy, while the others had normal testicular volume. There was no correlation between grade of varicocele and testicular hypotrophy (p = 0.12); among those patients with testicular hypotrophy, there was a statistical correlation with the grade of spermatic vein reflux (grade 4 vs grades 1-2-3) (p = 0.03). Focusing on hormonal values, there was a statistical significant difference between FSH levels, clinical grades of varicocele and grade of spermatic vein reflux: FSH levels were higher in patients with clinical grade 3 varicocele respect to patients with grade 1-2 varicocele and, in particular, patients with grade 3 varicocele, testicular hypotrophy and grade 4 spermatic vein reflux (14 patients) had higher FSH level respect to others (p = 0.02). After surgery there was a significant FSH reduction.
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that higher grade of spermatic vein reflux is associated with testicular hypotrophy and higher FSH levels.
