Abstract
Objective:
We objectively evaluated the testicular sperm cell morphology.
Methods:
The spermatozoa head morphology was evaluated by image analysis as presented on testicular fine-needle aspiration cytology smears.
Results:
2,356 spermatozoa heads were classified into six groups, according to different morphology parameters.
Conclusions:
This objective method of morphologic assessment of testicular spermatozoa provides an important tool for the evaluation of testicular spermatozoa and can serve as a guide for therapy in male infertility.
