FIGURE 2 Schematic representation of percutaneous testicular sperm retrieval. The testis is stabilized between the surgeon's thumb and forefinger and the needle is inserted along the long axis of the testis. The needle is withdrawn slightly and redirected in order to disrupt the testicular architecture. The procedure is repeated until adequate testicular material has been aspirated. A Franzen needle holder can be used to provide negative pressure for needle aspiration. Fertility and Sterility , DOI: ( /j.fertnstert )
