Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) could retrieve sperm from the testicles to help the non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients to get their biological children, but also would cause damage to the testicles. Therefore, it is necessary to preoperatively predict the micro-TESE outcome in NOA patients. For this purpose, we aim to develop a model based on extracellular vesicles' (EVs) piRNAs (EV-piRNAs) in seminal plasma.
