Male Infertility
The surgical management of male infertility is an exciting topic. Advanced microsurgical techniques makes the treatment of the infertile male one of the great success stories in medicine. In the not-too-distant past the only hope for conception was use of donor sperm or adoption. Now successful treatment options are available to couples affected by male factor infertility.
