Infertility treatment of men with non-obstructive azoospermia.

Abstract

Male infertility can be treated by several methods with varying degree of success. We present evidence that "open" testicular biopsy is favorable for men suffering from non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Moreover, any NOA patient may be subjected to this treatment even though his past histopathological examinations suggest that it is likely no sperm will be found in the testicular tissue. Thus, we recommend the testicular sperm extraction (TESE) procedure for NOA patients.
