Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the sperm retrieval rate in men with persistent azoospermia after chemotherapy, focusing on the impact of cyclophosphamide equivalent dose (CED).
- Out of 23 patients who had undergone chemotherapy, only 47% successfully retrieved testicular spermatozoa, with lower rates observed in those exposed to alkylating agents.
- The findings suggest that higher CED correlates with reduced chances of viable sperm retrieval, highlighting the need for informed counseling for affected patients before surgical interventions.
