Micro ТЕSЕ
Micro-TESE (microsurgical testicular sperm extraction) is a modern microsurgical technique that enables the direct retrieval of sperm from the testes in men with non-obstructive azoospermia, meaning the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate due to production issues. Micro-TESE is performed using a surgical microscope, allowing precise localization of seminiferous tubules in the testes that may contain sperm, significantly increasing success rates compared to conventional TESE or TESA techniques.
A diagnosis of azoospermia often causes severe psychological stress in men, affecting self-confidence as well as relationships in partnership and parenthood. Uncertainty about the presence of sperm in the testes, fear of the invasiveness of the procedure, and possible failures of previous attempts create pressure and disappointment. Micro-TESE is considered a “last resort” but also brings great expectations and concerns.
Micro-TESE differs significantly from other methods as it maximizes the chances of finding viable sperm with minimal damage to the testes. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 1–3 hours, during which a urologist-andrologist systematically examines the testes under a high-magnification microscope. Retrieved sperm can be used immediately for in vitro fertilization via ICSI or frozen for later use. In experienced hands, Micro-TESE offers success rates up to 60%, with a low risk of complications.
Our expert team collaborates with leading andrologists and microgamete laboratories to ensure Micro-TESE is performed according to the strictest medical protocols and highest quality standards. We provide complete diagnostic assessment, preoperative planning, psychological support, and postoperative care. Micro-TESE is not just a medical procedure but a crucial step toward achieving fatherhood.
If you have been told “there is no sperm,” Micro-TESE may be your chance to challenge that prognosis. Contact us to find out if you meet the criteria and how we can help you fulfill your dream.
