Micro-TESE
What is Micro-TESE?
Micro-TESE (Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction) is a sophisticated surgical procedure performed under an operating microscope. It allows the surgeon to meticulously examine the testicular tissue under high magnification to identify and extract individual sperm-producing tubules, which are more likely to contain sperm.
Our Micro-TESE Procedure Includes:
- Comprehensive Pre-Op Workup: Extensive hormonal and genetic testing to understand the cause of azoospermia and assess the likelihood of sperm retrieval.
- The Surgical Procedure: Performed under anesthesia. An incision is made in the scrotum, and the testicle is examined under a powerful surgical microscope to identify healthier-looking tubules.
- Tissue Extraction & Immediate Analysis: The selected tissue samples are given to our embryologist, who is present in the operating room to immediately process them and search for sperm in real-time.
- Sperm Cryopreservation: If sperm are found, they are frozen for future use in IVF/ICSI cycles, avoiding the need for repeat surgery.
- Focused Recovery: The microsurgical technique preserves blood supply, leading to less pain and faster recovery compared to conventional TESE.
Common Questions, About Micro-TESE
Q: What is the difference between TESA, TESE, and Micro-TESE?
A: TESA is a needle aspiration. TESE is a blind open biopsy. Micro-TESE uses a surgical microscope to selectively remove only the areas most likely to contain sperm, making it far more effective and less invasive for NOA.
Q: What are the chances of finding sperm with Micro-TESE?
A: Success rates vary (40-60%) based on the underlying cause (e.g., higher with certain genetic conditions, lower with Sertoli-Cell-Only syndrome). We will discuss your personalized chances based on your test results.
Q: If sperm is found, can it be used for a normal IVF cycle?
A: The number of sperm found is extremely low. They are always used with ICSI, where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.
Q: What are my next steps?
A: Your next step is to schedule a detailed consultation with our urologist and fertility team for a complete evaluation. Call us at 083103 09167 or schedule online at www.drjyotibandi.in.
