[Testicular and epididymal sperm extraction surgery].

Background: Testicular and epididymal sperm extraction surgery is a frequent procedure. However, to date, there has been no French consensus on the technique to be preferred in the various situations of male infertility and on the best way to perform them. We therefore decided to proceed with a formalized expert consensus, using the method recommended by the French National Authority for Health.

COVID-19 and andrology: Recommendations of the French-speaking society of andrology (Société d'Andrologie de langue Française SALF).

SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) metamorphosed our medical practice. In early June 2020, more than 6,400,000 COVID-19 (coronavirus-19 disease) cases were diagnosed across the world and more than 380,000 deaths were linked to COVID-19. Many medical symptoms of COVID-19 were reported.

[Intracardiac thrombosis during celiac disease].

Thrombotic events occurring in the course of celiac disease are frequently reported in the literature. The localization is often unusual, mainly affecting the hepatic veins. To our knowledge, this is the first report of intracardiac thrombosis occurring in a patient with celiac disease.

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator mutations and polymorphisms associated with congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens in a restricted group of patients from North Africa.

Background: Congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD) is responsible for 2-6% of male infertility. It occurs in 95% of men with cystic fibrosis. This malformation is present in patients with a sterile obstructive azoospermia but without clinical evidence of cystic fibrosis.

[Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: initial experience: about two cases].

Background: Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was a major breakthrough in the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

Aim: To report the first two laparoscopic radical prostatectomies performed in Tunisia.

Cases Report: The two patients are aged 57 and 66 and were suffering from localized prostate cancer.

[Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in the management of azoospermia].

Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyse all attempts of ICSI performed in our centre between 1995 and 1997 with surgically harvested sperm for the treatment of secretory and excretory azoospermia.

Material And Methods: 71 infertile couples, in which the man suffered from secretory (n = 8) or excretory azoospermia (n = 63), were managed with 94 attempts of ICSI.

Results: ICSI was able to be performed 85 times with 82 embryo transfers resulting in 29 clinical pregnancies.

[Therapeutic strategy apropos of 122 cases of early disclosed traumatic rupture of the urethra].

When ureteral rupture is suspected after trauma with fracture of the pelvis, insertion of a suprapubic catheter is required as an emergency measure. Ureteral lesions must be repaired early by the 5th to 10th day after trauma. Pyelography or retrograde ureterography is required to determine whether there is total or partial rupture and the degree of damage is identified endoscopically.

[Functional and metabolic results of 24 Bordeaux-type bladder replacements following total prostato-cystectomy with a more than 2 years follow-up].

In March 1985, we realised the first Bordeaux neo-bladder, with detubularized ileo-colic segment (15 cm of ascending colon and 20 to 25 cm of ileum). The urethra is anastomosed at the lowest point of the caecum. 61 male patients underwent total replacement of the bladder, and we analyse the results in 24 of them, with a follow up more than 2 years.
