In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study will help determine whether an AI-assisted microwell platform (IntelliWell) can identify rare sperm cells in testicular samples found to not have sperm by conventional analysis. Instead of discarding testicular tissue which was found to be non-sperm bearing by conventional analysis the testicular tissue will be processed using IntelliWell and, if sperm is found and verified by embryologists, it may be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
