micro-TESE Microscopic Sperm Extraction
Micro‑TESE may be considered when evaluation suggests non-obstructive azoospermia, or when previous puncture/conventional sperm retrieval has failed to obtain sperm. The decision is influenced by etiology localization, hormone and genetic results, testicular volume and previous surgical history, par

How micro-TESE Microscopic Sperm Extraction is performed
Mostly used for some cases of azoospermia, can be combined with sperm cryopreservation or synchronous embryo lab evaluation. During the procedure, testicular tissue is exposed through a small incision under microscopic magnification, preferentially taking a small amount of seminiferous tubule tissue that is more likely to contain sperm, and sent to the embryo lab for retrieval of available sperm; those obtained can be processed and stored or used for fertilization in the same cycle. Postoperative monitoring of pain, bleeding, and swelling is performed, with the goal of obtaining sperm for assisted reproduction and a smooth recovery. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
