Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rumen Dimitrov — Chief embryologist of clinic \»New Life\» speaks about the TEFNA method

What is the difference from the standard testicular biopsy and TEFNA in embryological point of view?

From the embryological point of view the difference between the standard testicular biopsy and TEFNA is that with tefna the material processed in the embryological laboratory makes it easier to find and isolate motile sperm. In connection with this, the procedure, although long ,as the isolation of sperm in a standard way of testicular biopsy, tefna allows us to easier find and isolate motile sperm. This gives a chance for a higher percentage of fertilization, since it is desirable to inject motile sperm after tefna.
Why Tefna, Assoc. Prof. Dimitrov?
From a clinical point of view it is defined as noninvasive method for men, who need tefna or similar procedures i.e. testicular biopsies, these are men who have very serious problems with sperm production. In recent years, it is found that even in men who have very severe abnormalities, including genetic, which halt spermatogenesis, there is a chance in individual focal areas that it is preserved as a process. Since spermatogenesis takes place in many tubules in the testis, it was found that even at very serious breaches in some of the ducts that process still exists. Thus by Tefna when suctioning tubules from multiple channels there is a greater chance to find a place where the process is still functioning, and thus in embryological laboratory enters a material that is not as rich in texture as rich tubules, in which there are sperm that easily after machining can be isolated. This does not require the use of enzymatic treatment that would be problematic, since it uses preparations of animal origin, which is not acceptable in human medicine.
Does the entire testicle is tested at Tefna or as in a standard testicular biopsy (narrow) only part of the testicle?
Depends on the case, in most cases, both testicles are biopsied from several locations , but because it is done with a very fine needle and does not actually take tissue from the testicle itself, as in a standard biopsy and aspirate with this needle exactly the part where spermatogenesis is done, it allows to be done in more places than a standard procedure. Accordingly, in embryological laboratory there is a better chance , more material enters that is more in terms of what has been taken from more locations, but otherwise as quantity there is no tissue that prevents us from finding sperm.
What is it like working with prof.Neri Laufer and Dr. Anat Safran?
In Israel this method is introduced exactly by prof.Neri Laufer and Dr. Anat Safran which gives us a guarantee that we use a lot more sophisticated and new validated method TEFNA that is much more painless and spares the patient from classical testicular biopsy. And the results can not be compared — between the two undoubtedly Tefna is the future of the testicular biopsies throughout the world.

Dr. Safran tell us more about the method of testicular biopsy TEFNA? How many types of biopsies testicular are there and why TEFNA is the best and safest method?
There is an ongoing debate in the field of assisted reproductive technologies in terms of which is the best method for testicular biopsy. There are of course more than two methods, but the main subspecies are two — open-biopsy and aspiration biopsy type. When sperm are aspirated from the testicles through TEFNA (type aspiration biopsy), scrotum (skin bag in which the testicles are located) is not open surgically and sperm is aspirated through a needle passing through the scrotum. The aim is to find enough sperm to fertilize eggs using the most non-invasive methods
What is classical testicular biopsy as a method known to people?
Open testicular biopsy (TESE) is far more invasive. It involves opening the scrotum and biopsy of pieces of tissue from the testicles. So the main argument against TESE procedure is the causing of major structural damage to the testicles and recovery period after the procedure is longer. The main argument against TEFNA procedure is that it gives less chance for spermatozoids to be found. New Life team is trained to perform both procedures, but, unlike other IVF centers in Bulgaria, our first choice is always the most sparing method for the patient — TEFNA.
TEFNA is Israeli methodology and is known to patients for the first time in Bulgaria, as a procedure offered by the clinic \»New Life\». Is there a place of Israeli experience in the new technologies in our country?
Prof. Laufer and I were part of the team at Hadassah Hospital, who developed the method TEFNA in Israel. As a pioneer of the method, I can assure you that our embryologists at New Life are very well trained to find spermatozoids aspirated and derived from TEFNA procedure. In this way we hope to offset the use of less invasive procedure. It is true that, in the open biopsy more tissue is taken, which increases the chances of finding spermatozoids, but the TEFNA method aspirates fluid from more locations in the testis. This is very important because in cases of azoospermia, where there is some residual process of spermatogenesis, it is done only in certain, often small number of seminal vesicle (focal spermatogenesis). Through Biopsy of a larger number of seats (Fokina), TEFNA method increases the chance for spermatozoids to be found.

Professor Neri Laufer is a character name in the world assisted reproduction. He was among the first doctors in the world to successfully carry out a human in vitro, founder of IVF centers in the US and Israel.
The team of \»Health close up\» managed to meet him at his brief visit to the country, during which he consulted Bulgarian specialists about the latest methods and technologies for in vitro
