Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible development of histological abnormalities such as fibrosis and microcalcifications after sperm retrieval in a ram model.
Fourteen testicles in nine rams were exposed to open biopsy, multiple TESAs, or TESE, and the remaining four testicles were left unoperated on as controls.
Three months after sperm retrieval, the testicles were removed, fixed, and cut into 1/2 cm thick slices and systematically put onto a glass plate exposing macroscopic abnormalities.
Tissue from abnormal areas was cut into 3 μm sections and stained for histological evaluation.
Pathological abnormalities were observed in testicles exposed to sperm retrieval (≥11 of 14) compared to 0 of 4 control testicles.
Testicular damage was found independently of the kind of intervention used.
Therefore, cryopreservation of excess sperm should be considered while retrieving sperm.
