Differentiation between nonobstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia: then and now. [PDF]
Asian J AndrolAbstract Male 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 nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA).

Management of non‐obstructive azoospermia [PDF]
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2016 AbstractNon‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is defined as no sperm in the ejaculate due to failure of spermatogenesis and is the most severe form of male infertility. The etiology of NOA is either intrinsic testicular impairment or inadequate gonadotropin production.

Surgery for Obstructive Azoospermia
Fertility & Reproduction, 2023 Microsurgical technique in male infertility has progressed significantly since the introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm infection (ICSI) 30 years ago. The searching of sperm available for ICSI becomes the main tasks for reproductive andrologists. At the initial study for patients with azoospermia, it is crucial to differentiate obstructive causes ...

A novel stepwise micro-TESE approach in non obstructive azoospermia [PDF]
, 2016 Background: The purpose of the study was to investigate whether micro-TESE can improve sperm retrieval rate (SRR) compared to conventional single TESE biopsy on the same testicle or to contralateral multiple TESE, by employing a novel stepwise micro ...
