NEW YORK, March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --Maze Sexual & Reproductive Health has announced the first pregnancy worldwide as a result of a new, minimally invasive procedure. Specifically, sperm are collected via Sperm Mapping, and then searched for and, if found, frozen or used fresh using Extended Sperm Search and Microfreeze (ESSM). They can then be injected into a partner's egg. The combined procedure, called Grid Needle Sperm Extraction and MicroSearch (GN-SEM), will allow some men with no sperm in the ejaculate (azoospermia) the ability to initiate a pregnancy without surgically opening up the testicle.

Key Points:

Specifically, sperm are collected via Sperm Mapping, and then searched for and, if found, frozen or used fresh using Extended Sperm Search and Microfreeze (ESSM).
I'm extremely proud of the fact that we have profoundly changed the way we treat azoospermic and cryptospermic men.
With men with cryptospermia (very very few sperm in the ejaculate) we have found and frozen sperm in almost 100% of men! ''
As of today, Maze has 30 babies born from sperm collected through ESSM, and 97 men whose sperm are stored.
