Sommario/riassunto

This unique book deals almost wholly with the clinical aspects of the subject. Male Infertility is a book written by a clinician for clinicians, most frequently gynaecologists who are battling to understand reproductive pathology in the infertile male patient. It is intended to familiarize the gynaecologist and other interested clinicians in the clinical management of an infertile man and provide that individual with practical guidance to a clinical problem.
