Cryptorchidism is a common cause of male infertility, often necessitating microdissection testicular sperm extraction (m-TESE) for sperm retrieval post-surgery. However, uncertainties persist regarding m-TESE outcomes and influencing factors following cryptorchidism surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate sperm retrieval rates (SRR) among patients undergoing m-TESE after cryptorchidism surgery.

- Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) shows promise for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) in young and middle-aged men who respond well to traditional oral medications (PDE5Is).
- The study included 61 patients, analyzing their response to Li-ESWT over 1, 3, and 6 months, finding significant improvements in erectile function scores (IIEF-EF) compared to baseline.
- Predictive factors for treatment success included lower baseline erectile function scores and higher levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), outlining the need for targeted treatment approaches.
We investigated the prognostic importance of noninvasive factors in predicting sperm retrieval failure in idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia (iNOA). We studied 193 patients with nonobstructive azoospermia who underwent microsurgical testicular sperm extraction. The Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U tests for clinical parameters and seminiferous tubule distribution were used for between-group comparisons.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 68 patients who underwent seminal vesiculoscopy for hematospermia in our hospital from January 2015 to January 2021. According to different surgical approaches, they were divided into three groups: natural ejaculatory ducts (method A, 45 cases), assisted transurethral resection/incision of ejaculatory ducts (method B, 14 cases), fenestration in prostatic utricle (method C, 9 cases).
