- Imaging modalities in the management of male infertility(2012) COCUZZA, M.; PAREKATTIL, S. J.Infertility affects approximately 15% of couples desiring conception, and male infertility underlies almost half of the cases. Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are increasingly being used to overcome multiple sperm deficiencies and because of their effectiveness have been suggested by some to represent the treatment for all cases of male factor infertility regardless of etiology. Although the use of these technologies may allow infertile couples to achieve pregnancy rapidly, associated higher cost, potential safety issues, and considering the fear of transferring the unnecessary burden of invasive treatment on healthy female partners weigh down this treatment option heavily. Diagnostic imaging techniques may be indicated as part of the complete male fertility evaluation. Productive therapy can be instituted only after completion of a thorough evaluation that begins with a detailed, direct history and physical examination. Due to the introduction and enhancement of newer imaging modalities, reliable adjuncts to clinical examination can be obtained to diagnose a variety of causes of male infertility including varicocele, epididymal blockage, testicular microlithiasis, seminal vesicle agenesis, and ejaculatory obstruction. Imaging plays a key role in the evaluation of the hypospermia or azoospermic man. It can detect correctable abnormalities, which can lead to a successful conception. It can also reveal potentially life-threatening disorders in the course of an infertility evaluation as testicular tumors. The goal of this chapter is to provide the reader with a foundation for a comprehensive evaluation of the male partner as well as emerging technologies that can improve the treatment of correctable causes of male infertility. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012.

bookPart Varicocele - fator masculino(2013) COCUZZA, Marcello Antonio Signorelli; PAGANI, Rodrigo Lessi- Evaluation of men with unexplained infertility(2015) COCUZZA, M.; TISEO, B. C.Infertility affects approximately 15 % of couples desiring conception and male infertility underlies nearly half of the cases. However, despite the diagnostic advances in male infertility field, approximately 30 % of patients still have no apparent cause for their infertility problem. Although it is anticipated that future developments will allow identification of the etiology for subfertility in these patients, at present they are considered unexplained disorders that challenge specific treatment recommendations. The use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) to overcome male infertility is increasing, and due to its effectiveness, this treatment modality has been suggested by some to be used as the treatment of choice in the majority of the cases of male factor infertility regardless of etiology. Although the use of ART may allow infertile couples to achieve pregnancy rapidly, the fear of transferring the unnecessary burden of invasive treatment on healthy female partners weigh down this treatment option heavily. The true litmus test for male fertility remains the ability to generate pregnancy in vivo. Although seminal parameters are used as a surrogate measure of a man’s fertility potential, it is definitely not a direct measure by any means. Seminal parameters between the reference ranges not reflect defects in sperm function. Thus, the assessment of sperm structure and function has gained interest and resulted in the development of the new techniques that are presented in this chapter. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2015.
