Surgical Sperm Retrieval Techniques for Assisted Reproductive Technology [PDF]
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection provides in vitro fertilization for many infertility conditions. It is also an important treatment option for fertilization in azoospermic men. Sperm production in azoospermic male testicles is possible. In these patients,

Sperm retrieval rate and pregnancy rate in infertile couples undergoing in-vitro fertilisation and testicular sperm extraction for non-obstructive azoospermia in Hong Kong [PDF]
There are currently no local data on the sperm retrieval and pregnancy rates in in-vitro fertilisation and testicular sperm extraction cycles, especially with regard to the presence of genetic abnormalities. This study aimed to determine the sperm retrieval and pregnancy rates in infertile couples who underwent in-vitro fertilisation and testicular ...

Is testicular microdissection the only way to retrieve sperm for non-obstructive azoospermic men?
Men presenting with non-obstructive azoospermia are the most challenging clinical scenario for an infertile couple. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) with testicular sperm retrieval gave a chance for biological fatherhood once sperm can be found ...
