The editors were able to motivate many experts in andrology from all over the world to write chapters for this book, integrating evidence-based and clinical-based knowledge to helpful recommendations for andrological practice. ... This book has the potential to improve the quality of clinical practice in andrology and to stimulate further expansion of this scientific discipline." (A. Jung, Andrologia, Vol. 39 (3), 2007)
