The Use of Immunofluorescence in Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction [PDF]
ABSTRACT: Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (TESE) has been used in the treatment of male infertility in cases of nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). In some NOA cases, there is significant difficulty identifying sperm within the testes, and we propose that an immunofluorescence technique may assist in locating sperm foci for use in in vitro ...

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

Value of Serum Inhibin B as a Prognostic Factor in Patients with Non-obstructive Azoospermia [PDF]
Background: Non-obstructive Azoospermia (NOA) mean absence of sperm in the ejaculate due to testicular failure. The sole treatment till now for them is testicular sperm retrieval and ICSI.

Circulating microRNAs in seminal plasma as predictors of sperm retrieval in microdissection testicular sperm extraction. [PDF]
Background Because of focal spermatogenesis in some nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients, testicular spermatozoa can be retrieved by microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to achieve ...
