A male patient presented at the age of 38 to Dr Lekich, after being told by IVF doctors and a urologist that he had a zero sperm count without any obvious cause. Seven years earlier he had a motorcycle accident with severe trauma to his scrotum.

Following an ultrasound scan of the scrotum at the first consultation, Dr Lekich could see evidence of damage to his epididymis on both the right and left testicles. The epididymis are the fine collecting tubules of sperm coming off the testicle.

After a full discussion of the ultrasound findings and the very complex bypass microsurgery technique, which is possible through the pioneering work of Professor Earl Owen, the patient proceeded to day surgery with Dr Lekich in April of 2012.

Sperm counts consistently increased and the patient was still advised by an IVF clinic they could not fall pregnant.
The patient fathered a child naturally with another partner six years later notifying Dr Lekich with a baby photo as promised.
