Table 1 Histological diagnosis of patients with positive or negative sperm retrieval after stepwise micro-TESE. Significantly higher sperm retrieval was obtained in patients with MA when compared to patients with SCOS and sclera-hyalinosis
From: A novel stepwise micro-TESE approach in non obstructive azoospermia
Histology | Positive sperm retrieval | Negative sperm retrieval | Chi square |
|---|---|---|---|
MA (15 cases) | 10/15 (67 %) | 5/15 (33 %) | P = 0.001 |
SCO (37 cases) | 7/37 (18.9Â %) | 30/37 (81.1Â %) | |
Sclera-hyalinosis (12 cases) | 1/12 (0.8Â %) | 11/12 (99.2Â %) |
