Objective: Objective of this study was to compare outcomes between two procedures while focusing on cause and effect association.
Methodology: Prospective comparative study was conducted to evaluate outcomes of inguinal ligation versus high ligation in patient undergone surgical treatment for varicocele at Bashir Hospital Sialkot from January, 2026 to March, 2026.
Result: There were 30 patients who underwent varicocele surgery. Retroperitoreal high ligation was performed on 15 patients, and inguinal ligation was performed on 15 patients. Recurrence was more common in patients who underwent the inguinal ligation procedure. The 2 patients reported recurrence in inguinal ligation and 1 in high ligation. The complication of pain was present in 33.33% of 15 patients who had undergone high ligation and 10% who had undergone inguinal ligation. The complication of infection was present in 3 patients, of whom 1 patient had undergone high ligation and 2 patients had undergone inguinal ligation.
Conclusion: This concludes that retroperitoreal high ligation is slightly better option except complain of pain.
