Micro-TESE & TESA – Precision in Sperm Retrieval
When a man has no sperm in his ejaculate — a condition known as azoospermia — it doesn’t necessarily mean fatherhood is out of reach. In many cases, healthy sperm still exist within the testicles and can be retrieved using advanced microsurgical techniques. Micro-TESE (Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction) and TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) are specialized procedures designed to locate and collect viable sperm directly from the testes. These retrieved sperm can then be used in procedures such as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) to achieve pregnancy. At our clinic, we approach these treatments with a combination of surgical precision, advanced technology, and patient-centered care.
Who Can Benefit from Micro-TESE / TESA?
These procedures are often recommended for men with:
Non-obstructive azoospermia – when the testicles produce very low amounts of sperm.
Obstructive azoospermia – when sperm production is normal, but a blockage prevents it from reaching the ejaculate.
Genetic or hormonal conditions affecting sperm production.
Previous failed attempts at sperm retrieval.
Our experienced specialists carefully evaluate each patient’s history, test results, and reproductive goals before recommending the most suitable approach.
Micro-TESE & TESA Procedures – Step by Step
Micro-TESE: Performed under an operating microscope, this technique allows the surgeon to examine the testicular tissue in great detail, identifying even small pockets where active sperm production is occurring. It maximizes sperm retrieval rates while minimizing tissue removal.
TESA: A quicker, minimally invasive method performed under local anesthesia, where a fine needle is used to aspirate sperm directly from the testicular tissue. It’s often chosen when obstruction is suspected or for patients undergoing simultaneous fertility treatments.
Both procedures are usually performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
