Sperm Retrieval for In Vitro Fertilization

Health Topic

With the advent and improvement in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), the options available for retrieval of sperm from the male have increased tremendously and most are indicated in men who have an obstruction that cannot be repaired, such as absence of the vas deferens, congenital obstruction, or failed vasectomy reversal.

Sperm may be obtained through testicular biopsy or needle biopsy.
