Resum

The testicles are the male gonad where sperm develop. Once produced, they must mature in their transit through the epididymis, where they are stored until ejaculation occurs. Sometimes, we do not find sperm in the ejaculate, a situation called azoospermia. Azoospermia may be the result of obstruction of the spermatic pathways or due to a partial or total blockage of spermatogenesis. In these situations, it is necessary to Access the testicle to confirm the cause of azoospermia or try to obtain sperm from both the testis and the epididymis. For this, different surgical techniques are described in the present work. In addition to the cases of azoospermia, there is an open debate about the posible indication of embryo biopsy techniques in males with high rates of sperm DNA fragmentation, so were view the main existing scientific evidence.
