To verify if quality of spermatozoa from men with testicular germ cell tumours is better before or after orchiectomy. This prospective study was carried out including 24 patients with testicular germ cell tumours, who provide one semen sample before they were submitted to unilateral orchiectomy and one other semen sample 30 days after the surgery. After collection by masturbation and liquefaction, an aliquot of the semen sample was used for semen analysis and another was used to evaluate sperm mitochondrial activity, DNA fragmentation and acrosome integrity. Seminal plasma was used to evaluate lipid peroxidation levels. Pre-orchiectomy sample and post-orchiectomy sample were compared using a paired Student's t test (normal distribution) or a paired Wilcoxon test, when appropriate (p ˂ 0.05). No significant difference was observed in semen analysis. A significant decrease in DNA fragmentation and lipid peroxidation and an increase in mitochondrial activity were observed after orchiectomy. Based on our findings, the semen quality from men with testicular germ cell tumours is better after orchiectomy.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
