Testicular Tissue Cryopreservation (TTC)

Surgical Procurement of Testicular Tissue: At early stages of technology development, simple orchiectomy (removal of one entire testicle) may give the best chance of preserving sufficient cells for effective therapy. However, incisional biopsy of up to 25% of tissue from one testis (wedge resection) will also be presented to the patient as an alternative option. The amount of testicular parenchyma removed will be at the discretion of the surgeon.
