Key issues Most published studies that addressed pregnancy and neonatal outcome of children born after the use of nonejaculated sperm suffer from methodological shortcomings. The population included is small, and in general, no discrimination is made between OA and NOA To date, few studies have directly compared pregnancy outcomes between OA and NOA, and the data are limited. Most of the studies were not designed to detect differences in pregnancy and live birth rates and had low power to detect differences in less-frequent outcomes, such as multiple births and complications In general, clinical pregnancy and live birth rates reported in the literature range from 26-57% for NOA and 18-55% for OA, and the results are similar to those reported with ICSI using ejaculated sperm. Published studies have shown either a decrease or no difference in pregnancy outcomes with ICSI in cases of NOA and OA. No major difference was noted in short-term neonatal outcomes and congenital malformation rates between children from fathers with NOA and OA. However, these results are based on a very limited population, and tendencies towards lower gestational age and birth weight of babies born from azoospermic fathers call for continued monitoring. No follow-up study has yet compared the long-term physical, neurological and developmental outcomes of children born with ICSI using sperm from azoospermic men with OA and NOA Due to the relative lack of data on fetal, neonatal and long-term outcomes of children born from azoospermic fathers, future studies should include the use of multicenter trials with adequate sample size and development of standard datasets to differentiate between the groups of men with OA and NOA. Efforts should also be made to reach a consensus on significant clinical differences regarding sample size estimates, especially for less common outcomes, thus facilitating meta-analyses. Currently, the limited evidence regarding pregnancy and postnatal outcomes of ICSI using surgically-derived sperm from azoospermic men is reassuring, but a call for continuous monitoring is of utmost importance to support the recommendation of sperm retrieval and ICSI in such male infertility categories.
Tecniche di prelievo di spermatozoi testicolari: quale adoperare?
Sperm retrieval rates for men with OA using ICSI are excellent (96% 100%) regardless of the cause of the obstruction
Tecnica di prelievo e sede di ostruzione nessun impatto su SRR MESA: maggior numero di spz ma più invasiva Spz epididimo = spz testicolo Fresh = frozen spz
Conclusions: TESE with multiple samples > FNA SCO: MicroTESE > TESE Safety: MicroTESE >FNA >TESE
There is insufficient data from randomized trials to recommend any particular surgical spermretrieval techniques for either OA or NOA. The least invasive and simplest technique method for surgical retrieval of sperm is to be used The more invasive methods should be reserved for situations where sperm cannot be retrieved by a less invasive techinique or for evaluation in the context of a randomized trial
Conclusions MicroTESE > TESE in SCO No clinical predictors of SRR
