V11-09 using microscope for onco-testicular sperm extraction for bilateral testis tumors
Testis cancer presents a unique problem in male fertility preservation. As many as 50-70% of patients diagnosed with testis cancer are subfertile at the time of diagnosis and up to 15% are azoospermic. Many patients will also require adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy further complicating future fertility potential. In this video, we aim to provide a step-by-step guide to the performance of microsurgical onco-testicular sperm extraction (onco-TESE) in the setting of radical orchiectomy for testis cancer in an azoospermic patient.
