Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Several surgical options are available for managing varicoceles. Although conventional surgery offers good surgical results, the most common long-term complication of surgery is the development of hydroceles, thought to be due to interruption in the lymphatic outflow from the subservient testis. The authors describe a new technique of in vivo methylene blue mapping of testicular lymphatic vessels at laparoscopy, allowing these vessels to be spared during laparoscopic varicocelectomy. This novel method of in vivo staining of lymphatic vessels should prevent damage to the lymphatic system and avoid the late development of hydroceles. A prospective multicenter trial is currently underway to evaluate the medium- and long-term results. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
