TLDR
It is suggested that the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone stimulation test become a routine part of the evaluation of an adolescent with a varicocele, and that approximately 45 per cent of adolescents with avaricocele have evidence of testicular injury.About:

Results of Varicocele Surgery in Adolescents: A Comparison of Techniques
Evan J. Kass,Bogdan R. Marcol +1 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the Palomo technique results in a significant decrease in the operative failure rate compared to the artery sparing procedures and it should be the preferred technique for varicocele ligation in the adolescent.

Deterioration of semen parameters over time in men with untreated varicocele: evidence of progressive testicular damage.
TL;DR: In males with varicocele(s), normal semen parameters should not routinely be expected to remain normal over time, and Statistically significant deterioration was noted from normal to abnormal.

Ipsilateral Testicular Hypotrophy is Associated With Decreased Sperm Counts in Infertile Men With Varicoceles
Mark Sigman,Jonathan P. Jarow +1 more
TL;DR: Infertile patients with testicular hypotrophy associated with unilateral varicoceles have worse semen parameters than those without hypotophy, and these data support the practice of varicocele repair in adolescents withvaricocele associated testicular growth retardation.

Optimizing the Operative Treatment of Boys with Varicocele: Sequential Comparison of 4 Techniques
TL;DR: The modified Palomo technique resulted in a significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative hydrocele formation compared with the standard Palomo method, and can be recommended as the optimal surgical technique for varicocele treatment in males of this young age.

Varicocele Related Testicular Atrophy and its Predictive Effect Upon Fertility
TL;DR: This study confirms prior reports that the majority of men with left varicoceles are able to father children and that varICOceles cause significant ipsilateral testicular atrophy/hypotrophy, however, it is unable to demonstrate a correlation between loss of testicular volume and fertility status in men withleft varicoCEles.

Progressive Testicular Atrophy in the Varicocele Patient
TL;DR: Although subfertile male subjects with varicoceles had obviously statistically lower sperm densities than volunteers with varICOceles, the testicular sizes were similar and perhaps varicocele ligations should be performed on all male subjectsWith this lesion at an early age to prevent progressive testicular atrophy and decreased fertility potential.

Influence of surgically induced varicocele on testicular blood flow, temperature, and histology in adult rats and dogs.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Strontium 85 (SR-85)-labeled microspheres (15 +/- 1.1 micrometer) to measure testicular blood flow in rats and dogs.

Reversal of Testicular Growth Failure by Varicocele Ligation
Evan J. Kass,A. Barry Belman +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a moderate to large varicocele can be responsible for testicular growth retardation and that early ligation of thevaricocele may reverse this process.

Varicocele in Children and Adolescents: An Investigation of the Incidence Among Danish School Children
TL;DR: The figures for the incidence of varicocele from the literature and the author's own findings suggest that there is a difference in the incidence in fertile and infertile mal...

Operating characteristics of the male hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis: pulsatile release of testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone and their temporal coupling with luteinizing hormone.

TL;DR: Significant pulsatile as well as circadian (24-h) patterns of testosterone and FSH release in normal men are identified and stepwise autoregressive fitting was employed to eliminate high intrinsic autocorrelations within the testosterone and LH time series.
