Testicular and epididymal sperm extraction surgery

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

BACKGROUND: Testicular and epididymal sperm extraction surgery is a frequent procedure. However, to date, there has been no French consensus on the technique to be preferred in the various situations of male infertility and on the best way to perform them. We therefore decided to proceed with a formalized expert consensus, using the method recommended by the French National Authority for Health. The aim was to provide the French urology community with practical advice on how best to perform these procedures.

METHODS: Twenty-six international experts met online for the consensus. A research committee carried out a comprehensive literature review and prepared the 55 statements submitted to the rating group. After 2 rounds of scoring, 50 recommendations were validated in March 2023, having achieved a consensus of more than 85% among the experts.

RESULTS: The consensus covered (1) preparation for sperm extraction surgery, (2) the different sperm extraction surgery techniques (Microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration [MESA], Percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration [PESA], Conventional Testicular Sperm Extraction [TESE], Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction [micro-TESE]), (3) advice to be given to the patient concerning the postoperative period, before presenting the results of the sperm extraction surgeries.

CONCLUSIONS: The expert consensus meeting on the performance of sperm extraction surgery presented a set of clinical guidelines based on the available literature and expert opinion. These guidelines should have a favourable effect on the development of this activity in France.
