N2 - The anatomic and hemodynamic components of the route of the testicular venous drainage were quantified to determine the inter-relationships between them and the mutual effects with the purpose of understanding the pathophysiology of varicocele formation. Seventy-five male subjects were studied while resting and during Valsalva maneuver. Aorto-Mesenteric distance and angle, flow velocity in different segments of the renal veins, flow inversion in the testicular vein, testicular vein diameter, testicular size and volume were evaluated using standard ultrasound equipment with spectral and color Doppler capabilities. The results appear to be in good agreement with the Nutcracker theory.
