2003 MAR 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Acrobeads testing can be a useful way to evaluate the fertility potential of men who have undergone surgery to remove varicoceles, researchers in Japan say.
"The Acrobeads test was performed on semen samples from 43 patients with varicocele before and after varicocelectomy. Sperm motility significantly increased after surgery (p
"Sperm motion analysis using CellSoft 3000 did not demonstrate a significant change after treatment. Acrobeads score significantly increased after the procedure (p
"Acrobeads score in cases that achieved pregnancy was increased postoperatively (p
"Sperm parameters other than the Acrobeads score did not show a significant difference between the successful and unsuccessful patients. The Acrobeads test assessed postoperatively can be useful in precisely evaluating fertility potential after varicocele repair," they wrote.
Fuse and colleagues published their study in Archives of Andrology (Evaluation of acrosome reactivity using the Acrobeads test in varicocele patients: Findings before and after treatment. Arch Andrology, 2003;49(1):1-6).
