Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: Management and Challenges in the ART Lab

Date: 19-20th September 2026

Master testicular sperm retrieval workflows with expert guidance

This intensive 2-day hands-on workshop provides personalized training focused on the laboratory management of severe male infertility and TESE-related procedures. By combining essential theory with extensive practical laboratory training, the course is designed to strengthen your competence and confidence in handling challenging azoospermia cases within the ART laboratory.

About the Course

The Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: Management and Challenges in the ART Lab course offers a structured learning experience covering the theoretical background and practical laboratory workflows required for successful TESE programs.

Over two days, participants gain intensive experience in both theory and practice on:

  • Laboratory management of azoospermia cases
    • Processing and handling testicular tissue
    • Cryopreservation of testicular spermatozoa
    • Advanced sperm selection techniques for severe male infertility
    • Optimization and monitoring of TESE laboratory workflows

Target Audience

This course is ideal for:
• Embryologists
• IVF laboratory scientists
• Laboratory technicians

who wish to strengthen their expertise in managing severe male infertility and testicular sperm workflows in modern ART laboratories.

Prerequisites:
Basic experience in IVF laboratory procedures (e.g., sperm preparation, ICSI micromanipulation) is recommended to maximize learning outcomes.

Course Goals

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the clinical and genetic background of azoospermia
    • Recognize laboratory expectations in OA and NOA cases
    • Process testicular tissue for micromanipulation and cryopreservation
    • Apply optimal sperm cryopreservation strategies in severe male infertility
    • Implement advanced sperm selection techniques
    • Evaluate fresh vs frozen testicular sperm use in ART
    • Troubleshoot common challenges in TESE laboratory workflows
    • Contribute to the setup and continuous monitoring of a successful TESE program
