Clinicians at the UPMC-Magee-Womens Hospital Center for Reproduction and Tissue Transplantation (CRT), a multidisciplinary, national leader in cutting-edge fertility treatments, performed their first anesthesia procedure on February 11 for a testicular sperm extraction (TESE). Our Magee team members Donald D. Carl, MS, CRNA, and Nicole R. Nowe, MSN, CRNA, were the primary anesthesia providers and helped ensure that the TESE was performed seamlessly. The tissue was processed in real-time, and the CRT received immediate feedback from the lab. Congratulations to everyone at the CRT and Magee for their success and perseverance!
