TLDR
Percutaneous testicular sperm aspiration is a cost-effective method to retrieve sperm for intracytoplasmic sperm injection in select men with obstructive azoospermia, anejaculation and necrospermia; and some with nonobstructive azonpermia.About:

Which is the best sperm retrieval technique for non-obstructive azoospermia? A systematic review
TL;DR: Current evidence suggests that MD performs better than conventional TESE only in cases of SCO where tubules containing active focus of spermatogenesis can be identified, and appears to be the safest technique regarding post-operative complications followed by FNA.

De Graaf's thread: the human epididymis.
TL;DR: The epididymal functions of transporting, concentrating, maturing, and storing sperm are important to male fertility and their absence or significant impairment can be a factor in male infertility.

Outcome Of In Vitro Fertilization And Intracytoplasmic Injection Of Epididymal And Testicular Sperm Obtained From Patients With Obstructive And Nonobstructive Azoospermia
TL;DR: Assessment of fertilization, pregnancy and miscarriage rates in patients with obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermia who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection found no differences in the fertilization and embryo transfer rates irrespective of etiology and type of spermatozoa (epididymal versus testicular).
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of efficacy of two techniques for testicular sperm retrieval in nonobstructive azoospermia: multifocal testicular sperm extraction versus multifocal testicular sperm aspiration.
TL;DR: It is revealed that multifocal TESE is more efficient than multifocalTESA for sperm detection and recovery in men with nonobstructive azoospermia and should be the procedure of choice for sperm retrieval for them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive factors for sperm retrieval and sperm injection outcomes in obstructive azoospermia: do etiology, retrieval techniques and gamete source play a role?
TL;DR: A review of obstructive azoospermia and assisted reproduction techniques is presented, highlighting the most relevant aspects of the decision-making process for use in clinical practice.

Andre Van Steirteghem,Zsolt Nagy,Hubert Joris,Jiaen Liu,Catherine Staessen,Johan Smitz,Arjoko Wisanto,Paul Devroey +7 more
TL;DR: High pregnancy rates were noticed since 67 pregnancies were achieved, of which 53 were clinical, i.e. a total and clinical pregnancy rate of 44.7% and 35.3% per started cycle and 49.6% and 39.2% per embryo transfer.

Higher success rate by intracytoplasmic sperm injection than by subzonal insemination. Report of a second series of 300 consecutive treatment cycles
Andre Van Steirteghem,Jiaen Liu,Hubert Joris,Zsolt Peter Nagy,C. Janssenswillen,Herman Tournaye,Marie Paule Derde,Elvire Van Assche,Paul Devroey +8 more
TL;DR: Subzonal insemination (SUZI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were carried out in 300 treatment cycles in couples unable to be helped by conventional in-vitro fertilization treatment.

Results of 1,469 microsurgical vasectomy reversals by the Vasovasostomy Study Group.
TL;DR: In this article, a 9-year period, 1,469 men who underwent micro-surgical vasectomy reversal procedures were studied at 5 institutions and the rates of return of sperm to the semen and pregnancy varied depending on the interval from the vasectomy until its reversal.
Results of 1,469 microsurgical vasectomy reversals by the Vasovasostomy Study Group.
TL;DR: During a 9-year period, 1469 men who underwent microsurgical vasectomy reversal procedures were studied and sperm were present in the semen in 865 of 1012 men who had postoperative semen analyses, and pregnancy occurred in 421 of 810 couples for whom information regarding conception was available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: a novel treatment for all forms of male factor infertility.
TL;DR: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection can be used successfully to treat couples who have failed IVF or who have too few spermatozoa for conventional methods of in vitro insemination, and sperm parameters do not clearly affect the outcome of this technique.
