Ei ejaculated immotile spermatozo, En ejaculated non-progressively motile spermatozoa, Ep ejaculated progressively motile spermatozoa, SD standard deviation, TESE testicular spermatozoa. ^aSignificant difference when compared with data from the Ep-group. ^bNo significant difference when compared with the data from the Ei-group
^*Mann–Whitney rank sum test was performed to detect the difference between the two groups, while Kruskal–Wallis test was performed to detect the difference among the four groups
