Abstract
Seventeen male patients delivered a sperm sample before and 80–90 days after halothane anaesthesia, acting as their own control. The sample was tested according to WHO criteria. There was no difference before and after anaesthesia. We conclude that halothane used in normal anaesthetic concentration in combination with nitrous oxide during arthroscopic knee surgery had no certain effect on the quality of sperm.Keywords
