New scan could help men avoid unnecessary fertility surgery
NCT ID NCT02043444
Summary
This study tested whether a special PET-CT scan could predict if surgery to extract sperm directly from the testicles would be successful in men with a condition called azoospermia (no sperm in semen). Researchers compared scan results from 160 men who had successful sperm extraction with those who had unsuccessful surgery. The goal was to see if the scan could become a tool to help men and doctors decide whether to proceed with this surgical procedure.
