Objective:
To evaluate the effect of testis homotransplantation in the treatment of androgen deficiency and infertility.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed 12 cases of testis homotransplantation.
Results:
Surgical success was achieved in 11 cases, all with a significantly increased level of serum testosterone, and markedly improved secondary sex characteristics and sexual function.
Conclusion:
Testis homotransplantation is highly effective for the treatment of androgen deficiency in males, but has little effect on spermatogenesis.
