So far medicine has had nothing to offer the azoospermic man with testicular failure or irreversible obstruction in the way of treatment. His only treatment choices were: adoption, or donor insemination. However, now it is possible to extract sperm from the testis of these patients, and inject them into their wife's eggs. This is called TESE with ICSI — which stands for Testicular Sperm Extraction with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. (A more colourful name for this technique however would be TSEICSI - pronounced as "sexy"!) This paper describes the laboratory aspects of how ICSI is performed in the IVF laboratory; and our results with using TESE with ICSI in treating azoospermic men. |
