Beneficial effects of microsurgical varicocoelectomy on sperm maturation, <scp>DNA</scp> fragmentation, and nuclear sulfhydryl groups: a prospective trial

There is evidence to show that varicocele repair can improve conventional sperm parameters but the effects on sperm chromatin integrity have not been fully elucidated. We sought to examine the effects of varicocelectomy on sperm maturation, nuclear chromatin integrity and nuclear sulfhydryl groups.
