Multiple Testicular Sampling in Non-Obstructive Azoospermia-Is it Necessary? [PDF]
Spermatogenesis may be focal in non-obstructive azoospermia. The present study was conducted to determine whether the performance of multiple, rather than a single testicular sample contributes to obtaining spermatozoa in amounts sufficient for fertilization and cryopreservation in non-obstructive, azoospermic patients.

Chronic Immune-Mediated Orchitis Is the Major Cause of Acquired Non-obstructive Azoospermia in Dogs
Azoospermia, the lack of spermatozoa in the ejaculate, is the most common finding in infertile but otherwise healthy male dogs and represents an increasing reproductive health issue in men, too.

Varicoceles in Men With Non-obstructive Azoospermia: The Dilemma to Operate or Not
The knowledge on male reproduction is constantly expanding, especially in treating infertility due to non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Varicocele is occasionally diagnosed in a subpopulation of males with NOA. Varicocele repair in NOA-men may contribute to the reappearance of spermatozoa in semen. However, spontaneous pregnancies are observed in only

Background: Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) presents a challenge in male infertility management. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of diagnostic testicular biopsy (DTB) in predicting sperm retrieval success via therapeutic testicular biopsy (TTB)

Non-obstructive azoospermia affects 1% of men. Here, authors perform single-cell transcriptomic analysis of human testicular cells from healthy donors and non-obstructive azoospermia patients and find that inhibition of Wnt signaling promotes the ...

Testicular histopathology, semen analysis and FSH, predictive value of sperm retrieval: supportive counseling in case of reoperation after testicular sperm extraction (TESE) [PDF]
Background: To provide indicators for the likelihood of sperm retrieval in patients undergoing testicular sperm extraction is a major issue in the management of male infertility by TESE.

Genetic variants underlying spermatogenic arrests in men with non-obstructive azoospermia
Spermatogenic arrest is a severe form of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), which occurs in 10–15% of infertile men. Interruption in spermatogenic progression at premeiotic, meiotic, or postmeiotic stage can lead to arrest in men with NOA. Recent studies

Purpose This study assessed the outcomes of microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) and potential preoperative predictors of sperm retrieval (SR) in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Materials and Methods Clinical data of 111 NOA

Non-obstructive idiopathic azoospermia vs azoospermia with antecedents of cryptorchidism: ways and probabilities of becoming parents [PDF]
Abstract Background Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) with history of cryptorchidism and idiopathic NOA are the most common forms of NOA without genetic aetiology. Of all patients with one of these two types of NOA, only a few will have a positive TEsticular Sperm Extraction (TESE).

Reinke’s crystals in perivascular and peritubular Leydig cells of men with nonobstructive and obstructive azoospermia: a retrospective case-control study [PDF]
Aim To analyze the differences in the population of perivascular and peritubular Leydig cells (LC) and the number of Reinke’s crystals (RCs) in the testicles of infertile men with non-obstructive and obstructive azoospermia.
