Intracytoplasmic injection of testicular round spermatids has been suggested as a salvage treatment in couples when testicular sperm extraction does not yield any mature sperm. However, the success of the procedure is debatable, and controversy surrounds issues such as the presence and (if present) identification of spermatids in testicular tissue. Progression rate to the blastocyst stage of spermatid-derived embryos appears to be low.
