Methods of surgical sperm extraction in azoospermic patients

MUDr. Lukáš Bittner, FEBU, FECSM
Andrologická klinika, Praha

Surgical sperm extraction is currently the only option for patients with azoospermia to achieve genetically own offspring. The development of reproductive medicine brings infertile couples a more likely chance of achieving pregnancy. The task of urologist and andrologist in this process is to examine and treat the infertile man and also to choose the optimal extraction method, which will bring the greatest chance of obtaining quality sperm with minimal risks for the patient.

Keywords: azoospermia, cryptozoospermia, PESA, TESA, MESA, TESE, miniMESA, microTESE, oncoTESE.
