TESE Treatment
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a specialized sperm retrieval procedure for selected cases of male infertility. At AAS Fertility & IVF Center, TESE may help retrieve sperm directly from the testicular tissue for use in assisted fertility treatment such as ICSI.
#UNDERSTANDING ICSI
What Is TESE?
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a surgical procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicular tissue when sperm cannot be obtained adequately through ejaculation. It may be considered for men with certain types of azoospermia and severe male-factor infertility. During TESE, a small sample of testicular tissue is removed and examined by a laboratory team for viable sperm. If suitable sperm are found, they may be used for ICSI as part of IVF treatment or preserved for future treatment.
#ICSI SAFETY INSIGHTS
Who May Need TESE?
TESE may be considered for selected men with severe male-factor infertility, particularly when sperm are absent from the semen or cannot be obtained through conventional methods. The appropriate sperm-retrieval technique depends on the underlying cause, including whether azoospermia is obstructive or non-obstructive. A detailed evaluation, which can include semen analysis, hormonal assessment, genetic testing, and other investigations, helps guide treatment decisions.
#THE PROCEDURE
How Does TESE Work?
TESE involves several steps to evaluate the cause of infertility, retrieve testicular tissue, and identify sperm for assisted reproduction.
Fertility Assessment
Your medical history, semen analysis, hormones, and other relevant tests are reviewed.
Treatment Planning
The fertility team determines whether TESE or another sperm-retrieval approach is appropriate.
Sperm Retrieval
A small amount of testicular tissue is surgically removed to look for sperm.
Laboratory Search
The tissue is examined in the laboratory to identify viable sperm cells.
ICSI Treatment
If suitable sperm are retrieved, they may be used for ICSI with an available egg or preserved for future treatment.
#WHEN TO CONSIDER PCOS
TESE and Male Infertility
Male infertility can result from problems with sperm production, sperm transport, hormonal factors, or other reproductive conditions. In some men, sperm may be absent from the semen even though sperm production occurs within the testes. This condition is known as azoospermia. Depending on the underlying cause, surgical sperm retrieval such as TESE or micro-TESE may be considered as part of an assisted reproduction plan. A thorough male fertility assessment is important before deciding on the appropriate procedure.

TESE may be considered for selected men who have azoospermia or severe male-factor infertility and cannot obtain usable sperm through ejaculation. The appropriate procedure depends on the underlying cause of infertility and the results of the fertility evaluation.
What is the difference between TESE and micro-TESE?
Conventional TESE retrieves testicular tissue for laboratory examination, while micro-TESE uses an operating microscope to identify specific areas of testicular tissue that may contain sperm. For non-obstructive azoospermia, current EAU guidance recommends micro-TESE as the preferred surgical sperm-retrieval technique.
