Brief Summary

Influence of inguinal hernia repair on sperm autoimmunity using MAR test

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Diagnostic Test: Mar test

Detailed Description

All infertile male patients, visited between February 2000 and September 2020 and which were tested with MAR (Mixed Autoglobulin Reaction) test, were included in this retrospective study. Sperm quality (number of spermatozoa, motility, vitality and normal forms) were also studied in this patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate if there is a higher incidence of positive MAR test among patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty compared to the general population
