Registered outcomes 7
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Total Motile Sperm Count | 3 months after surgery | Total motile sperm count (TMSC), expressed as millions of motile sperm per ejaculate, will be assessed by semen analysis. TMSC will be calculated by multiplying semen volume (mL) by sperm concentration (million/mL) and the proportion of motile sperm. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Scrotal Pain Intensity | 3 months after surgery | Scrotal pain will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Scrotal Swelling | 3 months after surgery | Number of participants with scrotal swelling will be assessed by clinical examination. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Surgeon Satisfaction With the Visualization Device | Immediately after surgery (with in one hour) | Surgeon-reported assessment using the protocol's 13-item questionnaire covering image quality, equipment handling, ergonomics, and educational usefulness. Each item is rated on a five-point scale. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Erectile Function | 3 months after surgery | Erectile function will be assessed using the five-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). As presented in the protocol, total scores range from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating better erectile function. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Serum Total Testosterone | 3 months after surgery | Serum total testosterone concentration will be measured by laboratory testing and compared between treatment groups. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Varicocele Recurrence | 3 months after surgery | Number of participants with recurrent varicocele will be assessed clinically at follow-up, with scrotal duplex ultrasonography performed at 3 months. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
