Published in Human Reproduction, Volume 13, Supplement 1, 1998 There no longer seem to be any categories of male factor infertility that cannot be treated with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Even for men with azoospermia caused either by obstruction or by germinal failure, ICSI may be performed successfully. The only failures will be in azoospermic […]

Human Reproduction vol. 13 no. 3 pp. 509-523, 1998Sherman J. Silber and Larry Johnson Tiny numbers of spermatozoa can be extracted from an extensive testis biopsy and be used successfully for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in 60% of cases of nonobstructive azoospermia caused by testicular failure (e.g. maturation arrest, Sertoli cell only, cryptorchid atrophy, postchemotherapy, […]

MICROSURGICAL (TESE) TESTICULAR SPERM EXTRACTION FOR AZOOSPERMIC MEN Abstract of Presentation for Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in September 1999 Sherman J. Silber, M.D. Introduction Men with non-obstructive azoospermia caused by germinal failure can now be treated successfully in many cases using testicular sperm extraction (TESE–a term which we coined in 1993) and […]
Human Reproduction vol. 15 no. I I pp.2278-2284, 2000Sherman J. Silber, M.D., Infertility Center of St. Louis We wished to map the distribution of spermatogenesis in different regions of the testis in 58 men with non-obstructive azoospermia, and to develop a rational microsurgical strategy for the testicular sperm extraction (TESE) procedure. One goal was to […]
