Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction (MicroTESE) and IVF-ICSI Outcome in Non-Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA)

We evaluated the application of surgical testicular exploration with the aid of a microscope (MictoTESE) to increase the chances of obtaining sperm in men with impaired sperm production, a condition known as non-obstructive azoospermia. We also evaluated the outcomes of these couples when the sperm obtained were used in ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) during assisted reproductive technology treatment. We believe that excellent results may be obtained with the use of the following techniques in the treatment of couples where non-obstructive azoospermia is a significant cause.
