  1. Patients were divided into two groups based on the type of surgery: Group 1: Stepwise mini-incision mTESE; Group 2: Standard mTESE. The patients’ characteristics of two groups were comparable at baseline
  2. Group 1: Stepwise mini-incision mTESE; Group 2: Standard mTESE
  3. FSH Follicle-stimulating hormone, LH Luteinizing hormone, T Testosterone
