  • Title: [A summary of the results of microsurgical exploration and treatment. 40 cases of male sterility (author's transl)].
    Author: Pontonnier F, Mansat A, Monrozies X, Plante P.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1979 Jun; 8(4):353-7. PubMed ID: 544684.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their statistical results of 40 subjects that were explored and where double epididymo-deferens anastomoses were achieved. They found that there were associated conditions which worsened the prognosis, namely: stenosis of the genital tracts and broncho-pulmonary infections. On the other hand stenosis of the genital tracts associated with varicocoele gave a better prognosis. Permeability was achieved in 40 p. 100 of cases. Six pregnancies occured from 33 patients who were followed up with post-operative spermograms. The following treatments are useful if added to the surgical treatment: gonadotrophins, corticoids and antibiotics. They point out that surgical cure is much more likely when varicocoele is associated.
