OBJECTIVE: To study the outcomes of testicular sperm extraction (TESE) among men with pure Sertoli cell-only histology identified during diagnostic testicular biopsy. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study involved 1680 cases of patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) diagnosed with pure Sertoli cell-only histology who underwent testicular biopsy with TESE in a reference center in Brazil by a single surgeon. Sperm retrieval rates (SSR) were the main outcome measure. RESULTS: Overall, 14.83% of patients with Sertoli cell-only had sperm retrieved with TESE in quantity that allowed the performance of ICSI. No differences were observed in SSR based on testis volume (<15 mL vs. <15 mL) or serum FSH level. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with Sertoli cell-only histology can be counseled that they have some likelihood of sperm retrieval with TESE. Based on the findings, patients to be submitted to testicular biopsy for histologic analysis may be concomitantly prepared for ICSI with TESE in case sperm is available.
