How TESE/micro-TESE Sperm Retrieval is performed
This procedure can involve conventional testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or micro-TESE, which locates tubules under a microscope, as determined by specialist assessment. Typically, testicular tissue is obtained through a small incision in the scrotum under anesthesia. Sperm-containing tubules are located with the aid of a surgical microscope and retrieval equipment, and simultaneously assessed by a reproductive laboratory and cryopreserved as needed. Postoperative monitoring focuses on bleeding and swelling. The goal is to obtain sperm suitable for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
