Core Tip
Core tip: We report a case of deterioration of sperm count after varicocele repair in a patient with severe oligozoospermia. This possible complication could therefore turn severe oligozoospermia into an indication to perform cryopreservation before surgery, on both clinical and medico-legal grounds.
