[New aspects of case law on andrological questions: what does this mean for physicians in private practice?].
In recent years there have been several Supreme Court adjudications concerning andrological issues. Among other things it was reconfirmed that drug therapy for erectile dysfunction does not have to be paid by compulsory health insurance providers. In contrast one Supreme Court decided that cryoconservation of ejaculates has to be paid by compulsory health insurance providers under certain circumstances.Vasectomy in men under guardianship is performed approximately 100 times per year in Germany. Before vasectomy is performed judicial authorisation has to be obtained in an extensive court proceeding.The Tissue Act regulates the implementation of the EG guideline 2004/23/EG into German law. This is only important for urologists who perform MESA/TESE procedures. Current case law does not allow use of the title Männerarzt as patients can confuse it with the official title andrologist.
