Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)

A minimally invasive procedure to retrieve sperm directly from the testicle for use in IVF/ICSI treatments.

The TESA Process

Understanding each step of the testicular sperm aspiration procedure

Sperm Retrieval

A fine needle is used to extract sperm-containing tissue directly from the testicle under local anesthesia.

Sample Processing

The retrieved tissue is carefully processed in the laboratory to isolate viable sperm cells.

Sperm Selection

The best quality sperm are selected for use in IVF/ICSI procedures.

Fertilization

Selected sperm are used to fertilize eggs through ICSI, maximizing chances of successful conception.

Benefits of TESA

Why Testicular Sperm Aspiration might be the right choice for your fertility journey

Minimally Invasive

TESA is performed with a fine needle under local anesthesia, resulting in minimal discomfort and recovery time.

Quick Procedure

The entire process typically takes less than 30 minutes and can be performed as an outpatient procedure.

Low Complication Rate

TESA has a very low risk of complications compared to more invasive sperm retrieval methods.

High Success Rate

Up to 70% of TESA procedures successfully retrieve viable sperm for use in assisted reproduction.

Is TESA Right for You?

Understanding who benefits most from Testicular Sperm Aspiration

Ideal Candidates

Men with obstructive azoospermia (blockage in the reproductive tract)
Those with previous vasectomy who do not want reversal
Men with congenital absence of vas deferens
Patients with ejaculatory dysfunction
Cases where previous sperm retrieval methods have failed

Non-Ideal Candidates

Men with non-obstructive azoospermia (severe testicular failure)
Patients with testicular atrophy
Those with a history of testicular trauma or surgery
Men with certain genetic causes of infertility

For these cases, Micro-TESE may be a more appropriate option.

Required Testing

Hormone profile (FSH, LH, Testosterone)
Genetic testing (Karyotype, Y chromosome microdeletion)
Testicular ultrasound
Semen analysis confirmation of azoospermia

A thorough evaluation is essential before proceeding with TESA to determine if it's the right approach for your specific case.
