Abstract
The fertility potential of patients with Klinefelter syndrome and cryptorchidism may be preserved or enhanced by an early orchiopexy. However, the potential benefit of ligation of internal spermatic veins in patients with Klinefelter syndrome and a varicocele warrants further study. Cryopreservation should be considered early in adolescence or adulthood as germ cells become depleted at an accelerated rate after puberty.
