Abstract
TESE-ICSI (testicular sperm extraction associated to intracytoplasmic sperm injection) represents a technique to attain pregnancy in couples with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and otherwise unlikely scenarios. Because the poor pregnancy outcomes obtained by this procedure, new techniques of sperm selection are needed aimed to improve the livebirth rate of NOA patients. Here we describe a successful micro-TESE-ICSI cycle performed with sperm selected through high magnification and polarized light microscopy in a couple with two previous ICSI failures.
