Multiple Determinations of Sperm DNA Fragmentation Show That Varicocelectomy Is Not Indicated for Infertile Patients with Subclinical Varicocele

Varicocele is one of the most common causes of low semen quality, which is reflected in high percentages of sperm cells with fragmented DNA. While varicocelectomy is usually performed to ameliorate a patient's fertility, its impact on sperm DNA integrity in the case of subclinical varicocele is poorly documented. In this study, multiple DNA fragmentation analyses (TUNEL, SCD, and SCSA) were per...

The mean hospital stay was 2.8±1.5 (range, 2-5) days, with a median follow-up of 20 (range, 8-32) months, there was no recurrence. Conclusions: Our homemade single port device is costeffective and more flexible to deal with bilateral renal cysts especially ventral ...

Sperm DNA fragmentation testing in patients with subclinical varicocele: is there any evidence?

P-47: Comparison of Sperm Acrosin Activity and DNA Fragmentation between Varicocele and Infertile Individuals

Background: Introduction assessment of sperm functional tests along with routine semen analysis may provide further information in the etiology of varicocele in different subpopulations. Therefore, in this study, in addition to assessment of sperm chromatin integrity, we aimed to assess the total acrosin activity which has proven to have major role during in vitro and natural fertilization in v...

The Effect of Varicocelectomy on the Spermogram of Patients with Subclinical Varicocele

This clinical study , carried out from 1996 to 1999, was aimed at assessing the effect of varicoceletomy on the spermogram of patients with subclinical varicocele. A total of 142 patients (mean age 28.1 ± 4.3) with varicocele (63 with subclinical) took part in the study. All individuals were informed and were satisfied to get involve in the study. Two spermograms were recorded one at the beginn...
