Micro TESE
Micro TESE, or Testicular Sperm Extraction with Microdissection, is a surgical procedure used to retrieve sperm from the testes of men with azoospermia, a condition where no sperm is present in the ejaculate. This procedure is particularly helpful for men with obstructive azoospermia, where the sperm cannot reach the ejaculatory ducts due to blockages in the reproductive system.
How does Micro TESE work?
- Surgical Procedure: A urologist performs a minor surgical procedure under general anesthesia. A small incision is made in the scrotum, and the testes are examined under a microscope.
- Sperm Retrieval: Using a specialized technique called microdissection, the surgeon carefully dissects the testicular tissue to locate and extract sperm.
- IVF or IUI: The retrieved sperm can then be used for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) with the partner’s egg.
Success Rates:
The success rates of Micro TESE vary depending on the underlying cause of azoospermia and the quality of the testicular tissue. However, many men with azoospermia have been able to father children through Micro TESE.
Benefits of Micro TESE:
- Hope for Men with Azoospermia: Micro TESE offers a chance for men with azoospermia to have biological children.
- Minimal Invasiveness: The procedure is generally considered low-risk and minimally invasive.
- Potential for Natural Conception: If sperm is retrieved, it can be used for IUI, which may allow for natural conception.
