In the last few years, it has been demonstrated that intracytoplasmic sperm injection is an effective procedure for treating patients with severe male infertility. Before this technique was available, the urological surgeon involved in the reproduction field dealt mainly with reconstructive (vasoepididimostomy, vasovasostomy) or endoscopic surgery of the seminal duct as well as varicocelectomy. Nowadays, the urological surgeon continues to participate in the field of reproductive surgery by applying methodologies which enable natural conception, and has to be involved in all aspects of sperm retrieval techniques.
在过去几年中，已经证明卵胞浆内单精子注射是治疗严重男性不育患者的一种有效方法。在这项技术出现之前，从事生殖领域的泌尿外科医生主要进行重建手术（输精管附睾吻合术、输精管吻合术）或精道内镜手术以及精索静脉曲张切除术。如今，泌尿外科医生通过应用能够实现自然受孕的方法继续参与生殖外科领域，并必须参与精子采集技术的各个方面。
