Yes, Varicocele surgery can fix low sperm count. Varicocele is a condition where the veins in the scrotum are engorged and lead to venous congestion. This leads to an increase in temperature in the scrotum and poor blood return that causes low sperm count. Getting varicocele surgery will increase the sperm count and correct male infertility.
