Abstract

After a moratorium of more than 10 years, it is again possible in the Netherlands to perform testicular sperm extraction (TESE) in combination with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Under the strict conditions of a research protocol, couples, of whom the man has a non-obstructive azoospermia, have the chance to parent their own offspring. The described procedure is an important step in the careful introduction of this new reproductive technique in the Netherlands.
