Biopsy can consist of surgical excision or percutaneous lymph node biopsy by fine-needle aspiration. Aspiration can establish the diagnosis in infectious processes or metastatic malignancies, but is less helpful in lymphoid malignancies, in which assessment of nodal architecture is often required for diagnosis. 1, record 1, English, - fine%2Dneedle%20aspiration

Testis sperm can be retrieved under local anesthesia, either with a fine needle (TESA) or in a manner similar to a testis biopsy (TESE). In obstructed testes, needle aspiration should be sufficient to retrieve sperm for ICSI [intracytoplasmic sperm injection]. 3, record 2, English, - testicular%20sperm%20aspiration

Los métodos de obtención de los espermatozoides son designados por varios acrónimos en dependencia de su origen y el método de recolección. Así, se habla de MESA cuando son obtenidos por aspiración microquirúrgica epididimaria, de PESA cuando es por aspiración percutánea del epidídimo, de TESE cuando se extraen del testículo y de TESA cuando se obtienen por aspiración percutánea del testículo. 6, record 2, Spanish, - aspiraci%C3%B3n%20testicular%20de%20esperma

Aspiración testicular de esperma(TESA por sus siglas en inglés) : La aspiración testicular del esperma involucra la recuperación de esperma usando una técnica de biopsia abierta testicular. Varias muestras pequeñas se toman de los testículos, ya sea para su análisis o para la recuperación de esperma en los casos más severos de azoospermia. 1, record 2, Spanish, - aspiraci%C3%B3n%20testicular%20de%20esperma

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) is an effective method for sperm retrieval from men with non-obstructive azoospermia [...] However, the conventional TESE technique requires multiple blind testis biopsies, with excision of large volumes (>700 mg) of testicular tissue and risks permanent damage to the testis. Using optical magnification, a relatively avascular region of the testis is located for an incision. 3, record 3, English, - testicular%20sperm%20extraction

Le prélèvement chirurgical des spermatozoïdes (MESA/TESE). Il arrive que le sperme obtenu par masturbation ne contienne aucun spermatozoïde [...] Dans ces cas, on peut trouver des spermatozoïdes sains dans l'épididyme ou les testicules. MESA signifie "aspiration microchirurgicale des spermatozoïdes" [...] TESE signifie "extraction testiculaire de spermatozoïdes". Ce procédé consiste en un prélèvement de tissu testiculaire (biopsie) et offre encore jusqu'à 75% de chances de trouver des spermatozoïdes. 3, record 3, French, - extraction%20testiculaire%20de%20spermatozo%C3%AFdes
