Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a microsurgical sperm retrieval procedure used to obtain sperm directly from the testicular tissue in men with non-obstructive azoospermia. TESE is an effective method for men who do not produce sperm in their ejaculate but may still have small quantities of sperm within the testicles.
At DYU Advanced Fertility & Smart IVF Center, we specialize in advanced TESE techniques, providing hope for couples facing male infertility.
Who Needs TESE?
- Men diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia, where sperm production is very low or absent in the ejaculate
- Patients with previous failed sperm retrieval attempts
- Men with genetic conditions like Klinefelter syndrome affecting sperm production
- Individuals who have undergone chemotherapy or radiation therapy, leading to reduced sperm production
- Men with testicular failure but still producing limited amounts of sperm
- Patients seeking surgical sperm retrieval for ICSI treatment
The TESE Procedure
Step 1: Preparation
- TESE is performed under local or general anesthesia for comfort.
- A small incision is made in the testicular tissue to extract sperm.
Step 2: Sperm Retrieval
- A microsurgical technique is used to carefully remove small tissue samples.
- The tissue is then processed in the lab to extract viable sperm.
Step 3: Sperm Use & Storage
- If viable sperm is found, it can be used immediately for ICSI or frozen for future fertility treatments.
- If no sperm is found, alternative fertility options can be discussed.
Step 4: Post-Procedure Care
- Recovery is quick, with most men returning to normal activities in a few days.
- Some mild swelling or discomfort may occur, but pain management is provided.
Benefits of TESE
- Higher success rates than non-surgical sperm retrieval methods
- Allows men with non-obstructive azoospermia to father biological children
- Can be combined with ICSI for improved fertilization outcomes
- Minimally invasive with fast recovery
- Option to freeze sperm for future use
