Micro-TESE

Micro-TESE, or Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction, is a surgical procedure used to retrieve sperm from the testicles for use in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).The Micro-TESE is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed under general or local anesthesia, and is often recommended for men with non-obstructive azoospermia, a condition in which there is no sperm present in the semen.

How does Micro-TESE work?

During a Micro-TESE procedure, a tiny incision is made in the scrotum, and the testicles are examined under a microscope to locate areas that contain sperm. Tissue samples are then carefully removed and evaluated for the presence of sperm. If viable sperm are found, they can be used immediately for ART or cryopreserved for future use.

What are the benefits of Micro-TESE?

  • High success rates: Micro-TESE has a high success rate in retrieving sperm, even in cases where other sperm retrieval methods have failed.
  • Minimally invasive: Unlike traditional open-surgery sperm retrieval methods, Micro-TESE is minimally invasive and has a shorter recovery time.
  • Increased chances of pregnancy: With the use of Micro-TESE, couples who have been unable to conceive due to male infertility can now increase their chances of pregnancy through ART.
  • Improved sperm quality: The sperm retrieved through Micro-TESE are often of higher quality, making them more suitable for ART procedures.

Summary

  • Overall, Micro-TESE is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to retrieve sperm for use in ART, offering couples new hope for starting a family. If you have been diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia and are interested in exploring your fertility options, talk to your doctor about Micro-TESE and how it can help.
