Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a new sperm retrieval technique called micromapping testicular sperm extraction (MMTSE) for treating nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA), aimed at providing a less invasive and more effective approach than traditional microscopic testicular sperm extraction (mTESE).
- MMTSE involves dividing the testis into four sections and making small needle holes to extract tubules, while allowing for real-time assessment of tissue for sperm presence.
- Results showed that all 15 patients in the sperm-positive group retrieved sperm successfully, while only 4 out of 25 in the sperm-negative group were successful with mTESE, highlighting MMTSE's potential benefits.
