Abstract
About 50% of men with NOA have minimal sperm production in their dysfunctional testes. Study shows no correlation between testicular size and sperm retrieval rate in a 29-year-old man with NOA and bilateral testicular atrophy. A 29-year-old man with bilateral testicular atrophy had successful sperm retrieval using TESE from a 2.3 cc left testicle. Low testicular volume significantly reduces the sperm retrieval rate with TESE. However, we described a successful
TESE in atrophic testis. Therefore, low testicular volume does not affect the success rate of TESE and it should not be contraindication for surgery.
