Wake Forest Baptist School of Medicine group has established an experimental testicular tissue banking for boys and men with a high risk of infertility. Participating patients are given the option to donate a portion of their testicular samples for research voluntarily.

We use a process to freeze testicular tissue from boys who have not gone through puberty, to save for future infertility treatment. Tissue that contains cells that make sperm is removed from the testicles through a small incision (cut). It is then frozen and stored.
