This book is a compilation of edited papers which were presented at
the XIth World Congress of Fertility and Sterility held in June
1983 in Dublin, Ireland. Although it has long been known that male
factors are responsible in at least 30% of infertile couples only
recently have concerted efforts been made on the part of
urologists, gynaecologists and basic scientists to identify these
factors more precisely. The nature of spermatogenesis is complex
but application of various scientific methods have at last opened
up new and promising approaches to our understanding of this
subject. Clinical results however have been depressing; the
majority of treatments lack realistic evaluation and are initiated
in hope rather than with a sound scientific basis. We anticipate
that this volume will in some small way correct these deficiencies.
The papers have been grouped into related topics. The first section
deals with the evaluation of the spermatozoa and includes a
critical assessment of the recently introduced zona-free hamster
egg test of sperm function. Further sections include the
biochemistry of gonadal function and the immunology of male
reproduction; most papers are concerned with studies in the human.
The clinical sections cover medical and surgical approaches to
treatment and the final section deals with various aspects of AID
practice.
