Objective:To investigate the value of percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration(PESA) and testicular sperm aspiration(TESA) by fine needle aspiration in diagnosis of azoospermia.Methods:Azoospermia was diagnosed in 168 patients after detection of centrifuged seminal fluid.After examinationsof testis volume
serum gonadal hormone level
seminalplasma biochemicalparameters and B ultrasound of genital system
PESA or PESA+ESA(PESA/TESA) was performed by fine needle.Histopathologic examination and sperm count were conducted for tissues available.Results:Azoospermia were diagnosed in 41(22.4%) patients by PESA/TESA.The correspon dence rates of PESA/TESA combined with examinations of testis volume
serum FSH level for azoospermia were 91.3%.Conclusions:PESA/TESA by fine needle is a convenient
minimally invasive and reliable method in the diagnosis of azoospermia.
