Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)

We offer specialized treatments to address various causes of male infertility. Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is an advanced surgical procedure designed to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles, providing a viable solution for men with severe infertility challenges.

What is TESA?

Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is a minimally invasive procedure that involves extracting small amounts of testicular tissue to locate viable sperm. This technique is particularly useful for men with non-obstructive azoospermia or other severe sperm production issues.

When is TESA Recommended?

TESA is a suitable option for men who:

• Have Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: A condition where sperm production in the testes is extremely low or absent.
• Experience Obstructive Azoospermia: Blockages preventing sperm from entering the ejaculate.
• Have undergone Failed Vasectomy Reversal: Cases where previous surgical attempts to restore sperm flow were unsuccessful.
• Require sperm retrieval for ICSI or IVF: When natural sperm collection is not possible.

The TESA Procedure

1. Pre-Procedure Evaluation

• A comprehensive fertility evaluation is performed to assess overall health and suitability for TESA.
• Hormonal and genetic tests may be recommended to determine the underlying cause of infertility.

2. Procedure Preparation

• TESA is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
• The procedure is typically completed within 30 to 60 minutes on an outpatient basis.

3. Sperm Retrieval

• A fine needle is used to extract a small sample of testicular tissue.
• The tissue is processed in the laboratory to identify and isolate viable sperm.

4. Sperm Usage and Storage

• Retrieved sperm can be used immediately for assisted reproductive techniques like Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
• Excess sperm can be frozen and stored for future fertility treatments.

Benefits of TESA

• Effective Retrieval: Offers a solution for men with minimal or no sperm in their ejaculate.
• Minimally Invasive: A simple outpatient procedure with a quick recovery time.
• Immediate Use: Enables same-day use of sperm for fertility treatments.
• Flexible Options: Sperm can be frozen for future cycles if needed.
