Objective: To report the chance of sperm discovery in the laboratory when sperm were not identified in the operating room (OR).
Design: Clinical retrospective study.
Setting: Department of urology at a tertiary university hospital.
Background: Although ICSI provides a way of treating azoospermic men, concern has been raised about the potential risk for transmission of genetic abnormalities to the offspring. We quantified the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in epididymal and testicular sperm retrieved from azoospermic patients undergoing ICSI.
Methods: Individual testicular sperm were collected from testicular biopsies with an ICSI pipette, and epididymal sperm were retrieved by microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration.
