Surgical Sperm Retrieval Treatments for Male Infertility

Treatments are quite effective in azoospermia or obstructive infertility, where no sperm is seen in the ejaculate. The procedures are very useful in azoospermia or obstructive infertility, where the sperm are absent in the ejaculate. Retrieved sperm is then used in ICSI to fertilize eggs, offering hope to couples facing complex male infertility.
