Is a contralateral testicular exploration required at microdissection testicular sperm extraction for men with nonobstructive azoospermia, cryptozoospermia or severe oligozoospermia?

Our data indicate that men with severe oligozoospermia are unlikely to require a bilateral testicular exploration at micro-TESE. Moreover, most cryptozoospermic men will have a successful sperm retrieval by micro-TESE with the majority of these patients requiring a unilateral exploration. In contrast, over 50% of the men with nonobstructive azoospermia will require a bilateral micro-TESE.
