For many years, the focus of fertility research and treatment has been the female. In reality, at least half of all infertility cases have a male factor as a major or contributing cause. Recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility have enabled pregnancies in cases where the male partner was previously considered to be untreatable or even sterile. With contributions from world-renowned experts, this comprehensive overview of male infertility covers anatomy, evaluation, treatment and prevention. The elucidation of the molecular genetics underpinning spermatogenesis and the development of new sperm function tests have increased our understanding of male infertility and led to new treatments which are discussed and evaluated. This volume presents the latest scientific developments in a clinically useful and practical format. The book is packaged with a high-quality surgical atlas on CD-ROM. This text will be valuable for urologists and reproductive endocrinologists at all levels.

As urology enters the 21st century, it is appropriate that the Atlas of vena caval surgery are clearly illustrated and are combined with Clinical Urology series captures and explains the major areas of an understanding of the appropriate patient populations for these modern urologic practice using a unique combination of images, procedures.

Bladder diseases cause many patients to seek urologic care.

Infertility affects approximately 15% of couples attempting to conceive, and male factor is known to be either the primary or a contributing factor in at least half of all cases of couple infertility. More than half of male infertility is amenable to microsurgical treatment, but a majority of urology residency programs provide little or no training in male infertility or its microsurgical treatment. Textbooks typically include a chapter or two on surgery of male infertility, but often these chapters only cover basic concepts and simplified overviews and miss the many finer points that are only taught by observing or scrubbing directly in the operating room.  Utilizing Dr. Marc Goldstein's extensive surgical experience, this atlas focuses primarily on microsurgical techniques for restoring and preserving male fertility. The chapters discuss surgical anatomy and diagnosis, microsurgery of the vas deferens and epididymis, varicocele and other fertility-related procedures. Topics and techniques include vasectomy, vasovasostomy, vasoepididymostomy, varicocelectomy, hydrocelectomy, and microsurgically assisted inguinal hernia repair. Equipment, instrumentation and training in microsurgery, including animal models, are also discussed. In each chapter, practical tips and tricks are highlighted. Enhanced by plentiful intraoperative photos and original illustrations, Atlas of Male Infertility Microsurgery is an essential resource for male reproductive surgeons, urologists, residents and fellows.
