Abstract

Boys with cryptorchidism often face fertility problems in adult life despite having orchiopexy performed at a very young age. During this operation, a biopsy of the testis is normally taken in order to evaluate their infertility potential and the presence of malignant cells. This study evaluated the morphology and functional capacity of cryopreserved testes biopsies and their possible use in fertility preservation.
