Percutaneous testicular sperm aspiration. A 20-mL needle syringe connected to a Cameco holder is percutaneously inserted into the testis. Negative pressure is created, and the tip of the needle is moved within the testis to disrupt the seminiferous tubules and sample different areas. The testicular parenchyma is aspirated (see the text for a detailed description).
