What is Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)?

Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a medical procedure designed to extract sperm directly from the testicular tissue when natural sperm release is not possible due to various reasons like azoospermia or severe male infertility. This is typically performed under local anesthesia, making it a minimally invasive sperm retrieval method.

Unlike traditional sperm retrieval techniques, TESE involves extracting sperm from the testicles themselves, rather than relying on ejaculation, making it an essential procedure for men facing challenges in fertility.

When is TESE Recommended in Male Infertility Treatment?

TESE is most commonly recommended for the following conditions:

  • Non-obstructive azoospermia, where sperm production is not functioning properly but the reproductive pathways are open
  • Failed ejaculation or inability to ejaculate sperm due to medical conditions
  • Low sperm count or poor sperm motility that prevents successful fertilization
  • Patients who need sperm retrieval for IVF or ICSI

If you’re struggling with any of these conditions, TESE could be the solution you need to achieve your fertility goals.

The Step-by-Step Process of Testicular Sperm Extraction

The TESE procedure is straightforward and performed under local anesthesia. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

  1. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
  2. A small incision is made to access the testicular tissue.
  3. Testicular tissue samples are collected using a fine needle to extract viable sperm.
  4. The samples are then examined under a microscope to locate viable sperm for IVF or ICSI.
  5. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and you can usually go home the same day.

While TESE is a surgical procedure, it is minimally invasive, leading to quick recovery and minimal downtime.

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

When it comes to sperm retrieval, there are several options, but each serves different needs. Here’s how TESE compares with other techniques:

  • TESE: Ideal for cases where sperm production exists but cannot be accessed through ejaculation. It requires a small incision and offers high sperm retrieval success rates.
  • TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration): Less invasive than TESE, involving needle aspiration of sperm, often used for men with obstructive azoospermia.
  • Micro-TESE: A more advanced technique that uses a microscope to retrieve sperm directly from testicular tissue, recommended for more severe cases of non-obstructive azoospermia.

Each method has its own advantages depending on the severity of male infertility, and our specialists will help you determine which approach is right for you.

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

TESE is often used in conjunction with IVF or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) for the best fertility outcomes. Here’s how TESE supports IVF and ICSI:

  • Provides viable sperm for fertilization when there’s no sperm in the ejaculate
  • Ensures high-quality sperm is available for ICSI, where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg for fertilization
  • Enhances embryo development and conception success rates
  • Offers an effective solution when other sperm collection methods have failed

With TESE for IVF/ICSI, men who once had no viable sperm can still achieve a successful pregnancy with their own genetic material.

Success Rate of TESE Procedure in UAE

TESE has proven to be an effective sperm retrieval method, with high success rates for both sperm extraction and IVF/ICSI outcomes. The success of the procedure depends on factors such as:

  • The quality of the sperm retrieved
  • The overall health of the testes
  • The timing of the procedure relative to IVF or ICSI cycles

At VIVILITY, we see success rates of 50-70% for sperm retrieval in non-obstructive azoospermia cases, with a higher IVF/ICSI fertilization rate when TESE sperm is used.

Understanding the Risks and Recovery Process Following TESE

While TESE is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, there are some risks and potential side effects to be aware of:

  • Mild swelling or discomfort around the testicle post-surgery
  • Bruising and slight pain, typically resolving within a few days
  • Rare risks include infection or hematoma (blood accumulation) at the surgical site
  • Minimal downtime, most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days

Our team provides post-surgery care instructions to help you recover quickly and safely.
