Short-Term Hormonal Changes Following Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction among Men with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: Findings from a Large Longitudinal Prospective Multicentric Study
This multicentric study shows that mTESE in men with NOA does not significantly impact short-time postoperative follow-up tT, LH, and FSH levels. A substantial proportion of men who were initially eugonadal demonstrated tT suggestive for TD at 3-month follow-up. These men had lower TV at baseline and abnormal karyotype.
