You will be taken to the procedure room of the interventional radiology department. With sterile drapes on your back, you will be asked to lie down on a special x-ray table.

The Groin area will then be cleaned with an antiseptic solution.

A local anesthetic injection will be given in the upper thigh to numb the site. A catheter will be inserted for assisting the process. This is done to identify the affected area. 

Once it is placed in a correct position then a liquid or small coil called sclerosing agent will be released for diverting the blood flow in the veins near the affected vein. 

This will allow the exit of blood from the scrotum normally. Pressure will be relieved from the varicocele regulating the blood flow. 

In the final stage, IR will eliminate the catheter and apply a bandage to the thigh entry.

Post your procedure you will be taken to the recovery room. There your blood pressure, heartbeats, and oxygen levels will be monitored. Besides, observation of any potential complications is also done.

After that, your pain will be treated. In case, you feel nausea or vomiting due to anesthesia you will be provided with the medications.

The majority of the patients get discharged on the same day. You can start the normal daily routine tasks within 24 hours post-surgery.
