Biochemical, radiological, and histological parameters were collected for all patients. All patients underwent onco\u2010microTESE (simultaneous radical inguinal orchidectomy with\n                      <jats:italic>ex vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                      microTESE of the affected testis). Those with unsuccessful surgical sperm retrieval (SSR) from the affected testis underwent contemporaneous contralateral microTESE, if no contraindication was present. The primary outcome was successful SSR from the affected testicle sufficient for assisted reproductive techniques. Secondary outcomes included contralateral microTESE success, the time from referral to procedure, and the total successful fertility preservation rate.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Initial onco\u2010microTESE was successful in 19 of 31 patients (61%) with azoospermia.

Overall, 22\/31 patients with azoospermia (71%) had successful fertility preservation in this series. In addition, six of seven patients with severe OAT had further sperm harvested by onco\u2010microTESE to maximise their fertility preservation.
