An alternative method for bilateral spermatic vein ligation is presented. With a retroperitoneoscopic approach, the vascular structures are clearly identified, and damage to the intraperitoneal organs, spermatic arteries and lymphatics is minimized. We believe that the potential complications of transperitoneal laparoscopic techniques may be decreased with a retroperitoneoscopic approach. © 1995 American Urological Association, Inc.
