Abstract This study is made on 100 non obstrstructive azoospermic patients to compare between the transverse and the longitudinal incisions in bilateral TESE . The patients were selected according to clinical examination, semen analysis and FSH level suggestive of NOA. These patients were subjected to the followings: 1- History Taking. 2- Clinical Examination. 3- Semen Analysis. 4- s-FSH determination. 5- Surgical procedure. 6-Clinical follow up for any post operative complications for 6 months. Bilateral Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction (Microdissection TESE) one side by silber technique and the other by schelgel technique was done. The results showed the following: The patients were classified according to histopathology into: • 5 patients (5%) with hypospermatogenesis, • 29 patients (29 %) with maturation arrest at spermatocyte level, • 18 patients (18%) with mixed pathology, • 48 patients (48 %) with Sertoli cell only 48 syndrome The mean age of the male was 35.75 years (21-62). In our study which was done on 100 patients of non obstructive azoospermia, sperm retrieval was about (37.7%) in first TESE patients while it was (12.7%) in patients with previous failure. The results showed no statistically significance between both tegniques(Siber, Schelgel) P value =0.510. However in only one case ,showed sperm retrieval from the testes done by schelgel technique. This case had Spermatogenic Arrest at Spermtocyte Level at histopathology.. Conclusion: • We have found that the technique of micro TESE not have effect on sperm retrieval . • Our study also concolouded that frequency of TESE can affect on sperm retrieval rate as the rate is higher in patients of first TESE than who with previous failure. • None of the clinical parameters e.g. FSH, testicular size, age and duration of infertility preclude the trial of TESE in every NOA patient. |
