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 ...

Onco-testicular sperm extraction (onco-TESE) for bilateral testicular tumors: two case reports

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Most patients with testicular cancer are infertile; thus, the preservation of the sperm after surgery is an important factor to consider. We report two cases of bilateral testicular cancer in patients who underwent bilateral higher orchiectomy

Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction (micro-TESE) as a Sperm Acquisition Method for Men with Nonobstructive Azoospermia Seeking Fertility: Operative and Laboratory Aspects

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2013
Introduction Rare foci of sperm production may be found in up to 60% of men with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). Sperm production, if present, is minimal for sperm appearance in the ejaculate.

Testicular sperm extraction with intracytoplasmic sperm injection for male infertility [PDF]

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2003
Background and Aims: Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an effective procedure for the treatment of male infertility, obstructive and non‐obstructive azoospermia. We have reviewed our experience to investigate the correlation of TESE‐ICSI with morphological, biophysical and endocrine profiles in 27 men ...
