Abstract

Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) was performed in 27 men in 30 cycles. All men were examined for genetics, serum hormonal status, biochemical status of semen samples. All men were examined by an urologist. No prognostic evaluation able to provide information about the prognosis of TESE procedure was found. Even a high FSH level, testicular hypotrophy or previous histological examination cannot exclude any patient from testicular biopsy.
