Abstract:
A lot of advances have been made in testis autotransplantation, testis homotransplantation, testicular tissue transplantation, Leydig cell transplantation and spermatogonial stem cell transplantation in the past decades. And recent years, have witnessed remarkable progress in Leydig cell transplantation and spermatogonial stem cell transplantation, which promise to be new means for the treatment of male infertility and hypogonadism. The development and present state of testis transplantation are summarized in this paper based on the related literature of recent years.
