Semen Parameters and Chromatin Packaging in Microsurgical Varicocelectomy Patients

The effect of microsurgical varicocelectomy on semen parameters in men with non-obstructive azoospermia.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy on semen parameters in azoospermic men with clinical varicocele and to determine the predictive parameters of postoperative improvement. METHODS Twenty-three men with non-obstructive complete azoospermia and varicocele underwent subinguinal open microsurgical varicocele repair. The outco...

A decision analysis of treatments for nonobstructive azoospermia associated with varicocele.

OBJECTIVE To examine the economic impact of initial treatments for varicocele-associated nonobstructive azoospermia, specifically varicocelectomy versus microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (TESE) with IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). DESIGN Decision analytic model based on 1) outcomes data from Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) database and peer-reviewed li...
