Summary

Study question:

Can enough testicular tissue be aspirated for sperm retrieval in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), using a wide bore 14-G Standard IV cannula in comparison to micro-TESE?

Summary answer:

Standard IV cannula Aspiration (SIVCA) can yield an ample amount of testicular tissue sufficient for sperm retrieval through a single puncture site on the scrotum.

Conditions

  • Non Obstructive Azoospermia

Interventions

DEVICE

Standard IV Cannula for aspiration of testicular sperm

After local anesthesia, a wide bore 14-G standard IV cannula was introduced near the lower pole of the testis. The needle was withdrawn and the catheter introduced into the testicular tissue. A 20-ml syringe was secured to the catheter and constant negative pressure applied and secured with a clamp. Back and forth motions were performed covering as many areas of the testis as possible.

PROCEDURE

Micro-TESE

Conventional Microscopic Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro-TESE), Open Testicular Biopsy using surgical Microscope
