Microsurgical varicocelectomy: novel applications to optimize patient outcomes
Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) remains the most severe form of intrinsic testicular failure. While some genetic etiologies have been reported (Y chromosome microdeletions, Klinefelter's syndrome, XXY males, whole chromosome translocations), most genetic causes of testicular failure remain poorly defined. Even when we can identify the genetic basis for NOA, we still lack effective targeted therapy. As a result, the correction of genetic infertility currently remains a treatment of scientific imagination.
