Obstructive azoospermia: reconstructive techniques and results [PDF]
Clinics, 2013 Obstructive azoospermia is a common cause of male infertility and can result from infection, congenital anomalies, or iatrogenic injury. Microsurgical vasal reconstruction is a suitable treatment for many cases of obstructive azoospermia, although some ...

Differentiation between nonobstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia: then and now [PDF]
Asian Journal of AndrologyMale infertility has seen an increase in prevalence with cases of azoospermia estimated to affect 10%–15% of infertile men. Confirmation of azoospermia subsequently necessitates an early causal differentiation between obstructive azoospermia (OA) and ...

The gene regulatory role of non-coding RNAs in non-obstructive azoospermia
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Non-coding RNAs are classified as small non-coding RNAs, long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs, which are involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and pathological conditions of various ...

Predictors of testicular sperm retrieval in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia: a review
Journal of International Medical Research, 2021 Azoospermia is divided into two categories of obstructive azoospermia and non-obstructive azoospermia. Before 1995, couples with a male partner diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia had to choose sperm donation or adoption to have a child. Currently,
