TeSE and MicroTeSE Procedures
Surgical Sperm Retrieval Techniques for Male Infertility
Understanding Your Options
If you have been diagnosed with azoospermia (no sperm in your semen), surgical sperm retrieval might be an option to help you achieve fatherhood.
What Are TeSE and MicroTeSE?
TeSE (Testicular Sperm Extraction):
- Procedure: Small tissue samples are taken from your testicles to find sperm that can be used for assisted reproduction.
MicroTeSE (Microdissection TeSE):
- Procedure: Using a high-powered microscope, we locate and extract tiny areas of sperm-producing tissue, increasing the chances of finding viable sperm.
- Advantages: Higher success rates and minimizes damage to testicular tissue.
When Might These Procedures Be Right for You?
- Azoospermia: When there’s no sperm in your ejaculate.
- Failed Vasectomy Reversal: If previous surgery hasn’t restored fertility.
- Obstructive Issues: Blockages that prevent sperm from entering the semen.
