The Acrobeads test was performed on semen samples from 43 patients with varicocele before and after varicocelectomy. Sperm motility significantly increased after surgery (p <.05), while sperm concentration and motile sperm concentration did not alter postoperatively. Sperm motion analysis using CellSoft 3000 did not demonstrate a significant change after treatment. Acrobeads score significantly increased after the procedure (p<.005). Pregnancy was achieved in 10 patients (28%). Acrobeads score in cases that achieved pregnancy was increased postoperatively (p<.005). The percentage of patients with a postoperative increase in Acrobeads score in the group that achieved pregnancy was significantly higher than that observed in the unsuccessful group (p <.05). Sperm parameters other than the Acrobeads score did not show a significant difference between the successful and unsuccessful patients. The Acrobeads test assessed postoperatively can be useful in precisely evaluating fertility potential after varicocele repair.
