  Objective: We describe our micro-TESE experience in a large group of men with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA) and poor prognosis for Sperm Retrieval (SR), and critically analyze the method´s results and limitations. Methods: An ART facility was setup in a tertiary care center to perform SR using microsurgery. One hundred and eighty men with NOA underwent micro-TESE while their female partners received ovarian stimulation for Oocyte Pickup (OCP). Micro-TESE was performed on the day prior to OCP, and surgically-retrieved testicular sperm were used for sperm injections. We assessed sperm retrieval rates, operative aspects, and ICSI outcomes. Results: The success of micro-TESE at obtaining testicular sperm for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) was 54.4% with no major complications. Sperm were obtained in 73.6 % of cases in which clearly dilated seminifero.. View More»
