Effects of clinical, laboratuary and pathological features on successful sperm retrieval in non-obstructive azoospermia

Abstract

None of the parameters investigated herein predicted succesful TESE outcomes. However, in cases with increased FSH and AZFa/AZFb deletion before application of bilateral TESE, in cases of increased FSH and AZFa/AZFb deletion, detailed information should be given to these patients about low success rates and risk of disease inheritance which may reduce procedural costs. Knowing groups with poor prognosis, may help rearrangement of the appropriation of infertility in health policies.
