Clinical management of infertile men with nonobstructive azoospermia
The clinical management of men with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) seeking fertility has been a challenge for andrologists, urologists, and reproductive medicine specialists alike. This review presents a personal perspective on the clinical management of NOA, including the lessons learned over 15 years dealing with this male infertility condition. A five-consecutive-step algorithm is proposed...
متن کاملSurgical management of nonobstructive azoospermia
Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is characterized by the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate due to testicular failure. The evaluation and management of patients with NOA offer a challenge to the reproductive urologist. In the era of in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection, surgical sperm extraction techniques can afford men with NOA biologic paternity. To provide a ...
متن کاملA decision analysis of treatments for nonobstructive azoospermia associated with varicocele.
OBJECTIVE To examine the economic impact of initial treatments for varicocele-associated nonobstructive azoospermia, specifically varicocelectomy versus microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (TESE) with IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). DESIGN Decision analytic model based on 1) outcomes data from Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) database and peer-reviewed li...
متن کاملChromosomal studies in infertile men with oligozoospermia & non-obstructive azoospermia.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Chromosomal anomalies have been postulated to be as one of the principal genetic factors in male infertility. Cytogenetic evaluation of men with severely compromised semen parameters reveals an increased incidence of chromosomal aberrations when compared with the normal population. The objective of this study was to determine the chromosomal constitution and sperm charact...
متن کاملControversies in the management of nonobstructive azoospermia.
The fertility potential of patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) depends on sperm extraction from the tissue sample and then in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). Unfortunately, there is no consensus regarding predictors that can identify nonobstructive azoospermic men with a potentially high yield at the time of sperm extraction. This article analyze...
