The management of obstructive azoospermia: a committee opinion [PDF]
Infertility due to obstructive azoospermia may be treated effectively by surgical reconstruction or by retrieval of sperm from the epididymis or testis, followed by in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection. This replaces the ASRM documents titled "Sperm retrieval for obstructive azoospermia" and "The management of infertility due to
