Laboratory processing and intracytoplasmic sperm injection using epididymal and testicular spermatozoa: what can be done to improve outcomes?
There are two main reasons why sperm may be absent from semen. Obstructive azoospermia is the result of a blockage in the male reproductive tract; in this case, sperm are produced in the testicle but are trapped in the epididymis. Non-obstructive azoospermia is the result of severely impaired or non-existent sperm production. There are three different sperm-harvesting procedures that obstructiv...

Received on: April 28, 2009 – Accepted on: Oct 15, 2009 aBstRact Azoospermia is defined as the absence of mature spermatozoa in semen analysis after centrifugation. The causes of azoospermia may be related to spermatogenesis defects and classified as nonobstructive azoospermia, or to the obstruction of the efferent ducts of the genital tract and classified as obstructive azoospermia. Before the...

Objective: The study aimed to compare intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome of patients with epididymal sperm and testicular sperm in different paternal age with obstructive azoospermia. Methods: We retrospectively studied the records of 177 men with obstructive azoospermia who underwent sperm retrieval for ICSI. 71 cases were performed with testicular sperm aspiration (TESA), 106 cas...

OBJECTIVE The present study introduces the application of percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) for diagnosis of obstructive azoospermia and non-obstructive azoospermia. PATIENTS AND METHODS 96 cases diagnosed with azoospermia were selected, standard methods were used to measure testicular volume, chemiluminescence was used to test serum sexual hormone levels, and No. 7 butterfly ne...
متن کاملThe mini-micro-epididymal sperm aspiration for sperm retrieval: a study of urological outcomes.
Epididymal sperm aspiration and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection is an established treatment for obstructive azoospermia. Sperm aspiration is performed with either an incision or percutaneously. To control costs, minimize morbidity and retain the advantages of both approaches, we developed a mini-incision technique for epididymal aspiration and here report sper...
