Objective To probe into the diagnostic value of percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration(PESA) in patients with obstructive azoospermia.Method 94 patients with obstructive azoospermia were given diagnostic puncture with PESA and effects of the puncture were observed.The PESA puncture with patients who had sperm was positive.Results Positive rate of PESA puncture in patients with obstructive azoospermia was 77.7% and the positive rate of PESA puncture in patients with testis volume ≥12 mL was higher than that in patients with testis volume <12 mL(p<0.01);the positive rate of PESA puncture in patients with FSH ≤11.1 mIu/mL was higher than that in patients with FSH>11.1 mIu/mL(p<0.01);the positive rate of PESA puncture in patients with testis volume ≥12 mL and FSH≤11.1 mIu/mL was 92.0%.Conclusion The success rate of puncture is relevant to the testis volume and the content of FSH.The puncture is safe
minimally invasive
easy to operate
effective and has few side reactions
which has a broad prospect in clinical applications.
