Aim of our study was to assess fertility of patients treated with orchifunicolectomy for testicular cancer. A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing orchifunicolectomy for testicular cancer was conducted in three centers from 2000 to 2019. Demographic, clinical and histological
characteristics of the patients were recorded. Adjuvant treatments were recorded. Number of pregnancies, number of children, cryopreservation, in vitro fertilization were recorded as well as postoperative testosterone serum level. Risk factors for pregnancy were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to evaluate factors influencing pregnancy rates.
