In microscopic testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) for nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA), sperm can be recovered relatively easily in some cases, and mTESE may be retrospectively considered excessive. However, mTESE is routinely performed in the majority of NOA patients because of the difficulty in predicting tissue status. A minimally invasive and comprehensive sperm retrieval method that allows on‐the‐spot tissue assessment is needed. We have developed and evaluated a novel sperm retrieval technique for NOA called micromapping testicular sperm extraction (MMTSE).
