Testicular sperm extraction with intracytoplasmic sperm injection for nonobstructive azoospermia
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: To provide fertility for men with nonobstructive azoospermia. METHODS: A retrospective review of treatment results at a university infertility center was undertaken. Sixteen couples entered an attempted in vitro fertilization (IVF)-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle for treatment of nonobstructive azoospermia. Each man was azoospermic, and the male factor diagnosis of nonobstructive azoospermia was made on testis biopsy for 14 men and on clinical grounds for 2 men. Sperm were retrieved by testicular biopsy on the day of oocyte retrieval. Results of testicular examinations, serum follicle-stimulating hormone levels, and testicular histology as well as evaluation of the success rates of sperm retrieval, fertilizations, and pregnancies were made. RESULTS: Sperm were extracted from testis biopsies in 10 of 16 (62%) testicular sperm extraction (TESE) attempts. For cycles in which sperm were retrieved, normal fertilizations were achieved for 51 of 98 (52%) mature oocytes injected with testicular sperm in 10 couples. Biochemical pregnancies were achieved for 6 of 16 (38%) couples, with clinical pregnancies during 5 of 16 (31%) attempts at sperm retrieval, and ongoing pregnancy and subsequent live delivery for 4 of 16 (25%) attempts. CONCLUSIONS; Pretreatment clinical parameters are unable to predict which men with nonobstructive azoospermia will have spermatozoa retrieved by TESE. When sperm are found, clinical pregnancies can occur for half (5/10) of these couples using TESE with ICSI, with ongoing pregnancy and delivery for 4 of 10 (40%). Many men with nonobstructive azoospermia will have retrievable sperm with testis biopsy that are suitable for ICSI; however, 6 of 16 (38%) couples will not have sperm retrieved with TESE and may undergo an unnecessary IVF procedure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
