Material and Methods: The present descriptive type of retrospective record base study was carried out at tertiary care teaching hospital of Maharashtra. Archives were screened, to retrieve out previous three years (2014 to 2017) medical records of varicocelectomy patients. Total 50 medical records of patients who had undergone varicocelectomy were analyzed. Results: Statistical significant difference was observed in between pre and post operative sperm parameters like count, motility and morphology.
