TESA/TESE/Micro-TESE
What is TESA/TESE/Micro-TESE?
TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration), TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction), and Micro-TESE are procedures used to retrieve sperm from men with male factor infertility. TESA uses a needle to aspirate sperm, while TESE involves surgically extracting tissue from the testicle. Micro-TESE, a more advanced technique, uses a microscope for precise sperm retrieval, offering higher success rates in severe cases.
How are the procedures performed?
Sperm retrieval helps men with infertility, especially those with azoospermia. Methods include:
TESA: Sperm is extracted with a needle under local anesthesia.
TESE: Testicular tissue is surgically removed under anesthesia.
Micro-TESE: A microscope locates sperm-producing areas under general anesthesia.
These techniques provide sperm for IVF or ICSI.

Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery after sperm retrieval procedures varies based on the method used, but all procedures require proper care to ensure healing and the best outcomes.
- TESA: Recovery is quick, with mild swelling or discomfort that usually resolves within a few days. Rest and avoiding strenuous activities are recommended.
- TESE: Mild discomfort and swelling may occur at the incision site. Rest and avoiding heavy lifting or sexual activity is essential for proper healing.
- Micro-TESE: Recovery may take longer due to its invasive nature. Patients should rest, avoid strenuous activities, and follow care instructions to manage discomfort. Pain relief is provided if necessary.
This summary provides a brief overview of the recovery process for each procedure, emphasizing rest and adherence to post-operative care instructions.
Alternative Sperm Retrieval Options
Alternative sperm retrieval methods are available if TESA, TESE, or Micro-TESE are not suitable. PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) is a minimally invasive procedure that aspirates sperm from the epididymis and is typically used for obstructive azoospermia. MESA (Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) is a more advanced technique used when PESA fails or when higher sperm quality is needed.
For men who have had a vasectomy and wish to restore fertility, a vasectomy reversal reconnects the vas deferens, allowing sperm to re-enter the ejaculate.
Success Rates and of Sperm Retrieval
The success rates of sperm retrieval depend on factors like the method used and the cause of infertility. TESA, or Testicular Sperm Aspiration, generally has higher success rates for men with obstructive azoospermia, where sperm production is not blocked..
TESE, or Testicular Sperm Extraction, typically has success rates between 30% and 50%, depending on the severity of male infertility and the quality of testicular tissue. This procedure is more invasive than TESA but is often necessary for men with very low sperm production. Micro-TESE, the most advanced of the three, usually offers the highest success rates, ranging from 40% to 63%.
