In this cross-sectional retrospective study, 300 cycles of sperm retrieval from the epididymis and the testis on 213 patients for the intracytoplasmic sperm injection at the Infertility Department of Tu Du Hospital from March 2003 to May 2004 were examined. The results showed that: 100% cycles with embryos and the pregnancy rate of 47.9%; there is no complication except a mild scrotal discomfort lasting a few days after open surgery; percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) was the most performed retrieval technique (61%), which was easy-done, quickly-performed, safe and effective
