6 Preface With almost 50% of infertility attributed either wholly or in part to male issues, it has become increasingly important to look at infertility from a couple s perspective. Advances in assisted reproductive technologies allow more conceptions than ever before, but such treatments may come with significant financial and safety cost. These costs are certainly justifiable with the targeted use of these innovative advances, but they should not be applied in a blanket fashion to all causes of infertility. Thorough evaluation of the male with the correction of underlying issues can maximize the potential for natural reproduction. In this text, we have assembled world-renowned experts in the field to provide a clear and concise overview of state-of-the-art developments in male infertility for both the novice and experienced p ractitioners in the field. We have placed special emphasis on diagnostic and treatment algorithms to allow the reader to obtain rapid answers to this challenging medical issue. The text is intended for general urologists, gynecologists, primary care providers, and allied health providers who manage infertility in both men as well as women. It is our sincere hope that this book allows rapid acquisition of pertinent background and development of management plans in this ever changing field. It is an exciting time to be involved in the treatment of infertility. We hope this book further stimulates your interest as together we manage couples in a compassionate, safe, and efficient fashion. Cleveland, OH, USA Edmund S. Sabanegh, Jr. v
