Infertility affects couples worldwide. Among these, obstructive azoospermia (OA) is a common cause. In some cases, the lack of spermatozoa in ejaculation results from blockages in the male reproductive tract. In this case study, we discuss an infertile male diagnosed with OA following three years of unsuccessful attempts at conception. The male had a history of bilateral inguinal hernia repair due to congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. Diagnostic assessments confirmed azoospermia. Microscopic epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA) was performed for sperm retrieval due to its efficacy and reduced postoperative pain, testicular atrophy, and decreased testosterone levels. The retrieved sperm was processed using SpermMobil media for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Following successful fertilization, embryo transfers resulted in a positive pregnancy test. This case highlights the significance of specific treatment approaches for OA, specifically the effectiveness of MESA and SpermMobil in achieving successful outcomes in assisted reproduction technology for male infertility.
