Abstract
We objectively evaluated the testicular sperm cell morphology. The spermatozoa head morphology was evaluated by image analysis as presented on testicular fine-needle aspiration cytology smears. 2,356 spermatozoa heads were classified into six groups, according to different morphology parameters. This objective method of morphologic assessment of testicular spermatozoa provides an important tool for the evaluation of testicular spermatozoa and can serve as a guide for therapy in male infertility.
