What is Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA)?

Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA) is a sperm retrieval technique used when sperm are unable to reach the ejaculate, often due to obstructive azoospermia or other male reproductive issues. In MESA, sperm is extracted directly from the epididymis using microsurgical tools under local anesthesia.

Unlike traditional sperm retrieval techniques, MESA allows minimally invasive sperm extraction from the epididymal duct, increasing the chances of retrieving healthy sperm for use in IVF/ICSI procedures.

When is MESA Recommended in Male Infertility Treatment?

MESA is recommended for men who face challenges with sperm delivery but still produce sperm. Conditions where MESA may be the right choice include:

  • Obstructive azoospermia, where the sperm is produced but blocked from reaching the ejaculate
  • Men who have had a vasectomy or failed vasectomy reversal
  • Blockages or damage to the epididymis
  • Cases where low sperm count or poor sperm motility has been identified
  • Candidates for IVF/ICSI, where sperm must be retrieved directly from the epididymis

The Step-by-Step Process of Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA)

The MESA procedure is performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting, ensuring minimal discomfort and a fast recovery. Here’s a breakdown of how MESA works:

  1. Anesthesia is administered to numb the area.
  2. A microsurgical incision is made to access the epididymis.
  3. Using microsurgical techniques, sperm is carefully aspirated from the epididymis.
  4. The retrieved sperm is analyzed by our embryology team for use in IVF/ICSI.
  5. The procedure usually lasts about 30 minutes and requires minimal recovery time.

This technique allows for precise sperm retrieval, increasing your chances of success with assisted reproductive technologies.

MESA vs TESE vs TESA – Which Sperm Retrieval Method is Best for You?

There are several sperm retrieval techniques used in male infertility treatment, including TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) and TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction). Here’s how MESA compares:

  • MESA: Preferred for obstructive azoospermia and vasectomy cases, it is minimally invasive and offers a higher sperm retrieval success with less tissue damage.
  • TESE: Involves a small incision in the testicle to retrieve sperm, often used for non-obstructive azoospermia.
  • TESA: A needle aspiration method for sperm retrieval from the testicle, typically used for cases where the epididymis is not accessible.

MESA is often the preferred method for retrieving epididymal sperm in cases where sperm cannot pass through the reproductive tract.

How MESA Enhances IVF and ICSI Success Rates in Male Infertility Treatment

MESA is an effective method for retrieving sperm to be used in IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). Here’s how MESA enhances the success rates of these procedures:

  • MESA sperm can be directly injected into eggs using ICSI, improving fertilization chances for men with low sperm count or motility issues.
  • It allows for the use of fresh sperm in ART procedures, ensuring better embryo development and higher pregnancy success rates.
  • Men who previously had no sperm in their ejaculate can now use their own retrieved sperm for IVF/ICSI, avoiding the need for sperm donation.

Success Rate of MESA Procedure in UAE

MESA offers a high sperm retrieval success rate, especially for men with obstructive azoospermia. The success rate depends on factors such as:

  • The quality of sperm retrieved from the epididymis
  • The condition of the reproductive system
  • The overall health and timing of the procedure relative to IVF/ICSI cycles

At VIVILITY, we have seen high success rates (Above 80%) in sperm retrieval and IVF fertilization when MESA is used. Success depends on each case, but many men can expect positive fertilization outcomes and improved ART results.

  • Mild swelling or bruising around the epididymis
  • Temporary discomfort or pain following the procedure
  • Minimal downtime – most patients resume normal activities within 1-2 days
