Early versus late maturation arrest: reproductive outcomes of testicular failure
JW Weedin, RC Bennett, DM Fenig, DJ Lamb… - The Journal of …, 2011 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: There is a paucity of data characterizing infertile men with maturation arrest. We
hypothesized that men with early stage maturation arrest could be clinically distinguished
from men with late maturation arrest and would have worse reproductive outcomes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients with
nonobstructive azoospermia and cryptozoospermia who underwent testis mapping and
sperm extraction from 2002 to 2009 and for whom histopathological findings were available …
