Predictive factors for testicular sperm extraction (TESE) success in azoospermic cases with Klinefelter syndrome

14965

Aim: It is aimed to identify the predictive factors for testicular sperm extraction (TESE) success in cases with Klinefelter syndrome (KS). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 322 patients that underwent TESE operation because of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) in our hospital between 2009 and 2014. Twenty-nine patients whose genetic analysis reported 47XXY – KS were included in our study. Age, FSH, LH, FSH/LH ratio, prolactin, T and E2 values of these 29 patients were analysed retrospectively. In statistical analysis of these parameters, p value 0.05 was accepted as significant. Results: The mean age, FSH, LH, FSH/LH ratio, prolactin, T and E2 value of the patients were; 32 years, 38.4 mIU/mL, 18.84 mIU/mL, 2.04, 11 ng/mL, 216.74 ng/dL and 24.37 pg/mL, respectively. Our TESE success was 37.9 %. Age was the only predictive parameter for TESE success (p=0.007). Independent sample t test values of FSH, LH, FSH/LH ratio, prolactin, T and E2 were p=0.185; p=0.510; p=0.119; p=0.545; p=0.841; p=0.139 respectively and were non-predictive. Conclusion: In KS cases, the only predictive parameter for TESE success is age, except biopsy. TESE success was found significantly higher at 32 years of age and under
