Pregnancy after microsurgery for epididymal obstruction
Systematic review and meta-analysis
Library updated:
What was investigated and what was found?
Patency and pregnancy outcomes after vasoepididymostomy were evaluated in 10 studies involving 504 patients.
Interpreting the findings
Patency, natural pregnancy and assisted reproduction outcomes are separate endpoints.
How can you prepare for a consultation?
Discuss a publication on obstructive azoospermia alongside any existing diagnostic or surgical reports describing the obstruction. Ask where the blockage was located in the study population and what outcome was followed. Restored patency, natural pregnancy and pregnancy through assisted reproduction are different outcomes, so clarifying the reported measure makes the discussion more useful.
Let us begin with your diagnosis, previous findings and goals as a couple. You can request an initial consultation with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu to discuss what this research means for your own situation.
