Male Infertility: Contemporary Clinical Approaches, Andrology, ART and Antioxidants

Due to the success of the first edition of this book in 2012, we decided to work on the second
edition in 2018 with the goal to bring out a medical textbook that can serve as the most reliable
source of accurate information on various aspects of the rapidly developing field of male infertility.
This book was an attempt to gather experts from each of these fields and present an integrated
management approach with detailed descriptions of topics ranging from the initial
clinical diagnosis, management, new treatment options, and scientific rational for the various
approaches. The book initially focuses on the clinical aspects of male infertility and then dives
into the use of antioxidants as adjunctive therapy and the current state of affairs in antioxidant
research. In this second edition, which includes 72 chapters in total across 7 parts, over 20 new
chapters were added to enhance the book’s appeal by including the most recent advances
brought to the male infertility arena. Additionally, this edition has new features including video
clips illustrating some of the most fascinating male infertility treatment modalities and a dedicated
new part on current guidelines on male infertility and antioxidants to enlighten readers on
how to most optimally manage male infertility clinical scenarios. The 129 contributing authors
hail from leading institutions in 18 countries across 6 continents in an attempt to capture a wide
range of techniques and approaches. New to this edition are dedicated sections within each
chapter covering key points and review criteria, carefully bookended by introductory and concluding
content that sets the stage for and sums up the state of the art in male infertility. We are
hoping that this text may serve as a reference guide for specialists across the male infertility
team to further enhance dialogue, discussion, and refinement in our multidisciplinary approach.
