Can one testis provide enough sperm? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07259967
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at 80 men with non-obstructive azoospermia (no sperm in semen due to poor sperm production) who are scheduled for bilateral microscopic testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE). The goal is to see how often sperm can be successfully retrieved from a single testis and what factors predict success. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, and aims to guide future surgical decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors know when to only operate on one testis, reducing surgery time and risk for men with non-obstructive azoospermia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with no treatment being tested. Results may not apply to all patients, and the procedure itself carries risks like bleeding or infection.
