Microsurgical reconstruction using an intussusception technique
Systematic review and meta-analysis
Library updated:
What was investigated and what was found?
Patency after reconstruction and factors affecting it were examined in 25 observational studies involving 1,400 patients.
Interpreting the findings
The evidence is observational. Restored patency does not guarantee a live birth.
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.
