Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro TESE)

Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro TESE)

Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro TESE) is an advanced surgical technique used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). In this condition, sperm production is impaired or absent due to spermatogenic failure. Micro TESE improves the likelihood of finding viable sperm compared to conventional methods.

When is Micro TESE Recommended?

  • Men with non-obstructive azoospermia caused by genetic or medical conditions
  • Patients with failed sperm retrieval attempts through TESE, PESA, or MESA
  • Couples planning IVF with ICSI

Steps Involved in Micro TESE

  • Anesthesia: Usually performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort.
  • Microsurgical Dissection: A high-powered surgical microscope is used to carefully examine testicular tissue and locate areas more likely to contain sperm.
  • Sperm Retrieval & Processing: Extracted tissue samples are analyzed in the lab to isolate viable sperm for immediate use in IVF/ICSI or for freezing.

Benefits of Micro TESE

  • Increases the chance of sperm retrieval in men with non-obstructive azoospermia
  • Reduces unnecessary tissue damage due to targeted dissection
  • Provides sperm for immediate or future use in assisted reproduction
  • Often successful where other sperm retrieval techniques have failed

Possible Risks

  • Mild pain or swelling in the testicles after the procedure
  • Risk of bleeding or infection at the surgical site
  • Temporary reduction in testosterone levels in rare cases
