Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) is a minimally invasive sperm retrieval technique used for men with obstructive azoospermia. This procedure involves aspirating sperm directly from the epididymis, a structure that stores and transports sperm from the testicles.

At DYU Advanced Fertility & Smart IVF Center, we provide state-of-the-art PESA procedures to help couples achieve parenthood through Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Who Needs PESA?

• Men diagnosed with obstructive azoospermia due to:
  • Vasectomy or failed vasectomy reversal
  • Congenital absence of the vas deferens
  • Infections or blockages affecting sperm transport
• Patients requiring surgical sperm retrieval for ICSI treatments
• Men who prefer a less invasive option compared to open surgical sperm extraction

‍

The PESA Procedure

Step 1: Preparation

• The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
• A fine needle is inserted into the epididymis to aspirate sperm-containing fluid.

Step 2: Sperm Retrieval

• The aspirated fluid is processed in the laboratory to extract viable sperm.
• If live sperm is found, it can be used immediately for ICSI or IVF, or frozen for future use.

Step 3: Post-Procedure Care

• Patients can resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
• Mild discomfort or swelling may occur but typically resolves quickly.
