NCT ID NCT07286279

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 248 men with very low or no sperm in their semen to see if a less-invasive, mini-incision surgery could successfully retrieve sperm. Researchers checked whether factors like hormone levels or medical history could predict who would benefit from this smaller procedure. The goal is to help men avoid more extensive surgery when a simpler approach might work.
