Abstract
We confirmed the prevalence of contralateral TIN to be about 5%. TIN is significantly associated with poor spermatogenesis and with testicular atrophy. The diagnostic extra yield imparted by double biopsies is 18%. Discordant results regarding TIN are predominantly encountered in normal-sized testicles. The new standard in diagnosing TIN is two-site biopsy.
