Micro-TESE is a procedure that involves the surgical extraction of sperm directly from the testicular tissue under a microscope. This technique is specifically designed to identify and extract sperm from areas of the testes where sperm production might still be occurring.

Micro-TESE is typically recommended for men diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia, meaning their testes produce sperm but in quantities too low to be detected in the semen.

Performed under general anesthesia, a small incision is made in the scrotum to expose the testicle. Using a high-powered operating microscope, areas likely to contain sperm are identified, and tiny samples are extracted for examination by an embryologist.

Unlike traditional TESE that may blindly extract tissue from the testes, Micro-TESE uses microscopic guidance to selectively remove tissue from areas most likely to contain sperm, minimizing damage to the testicular structure and potentially improving sperm retrieval rates.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is generally mild and can be managed with pain relief medications.

Risks include bleeding, infection, and potential damage to the testicular tissue. However, the use of microsurgery minimizes these risks, and Gunasheela's experienced surgical team takes every precaution to ensure patient safety.

Success rates can vary significantly based on individual factors, including the underlying cause of azoospermia. Gunasheela's specialists can provide a personalized assessment based on your specific situation.

Retrieved sperm can be used immediately for ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) as part of an IVF cycle or frozen for future use. The approach depends on the couple's treatment timeline and preferences.

Preparation involves abstaining from certain medications and supplements that might affect bleeding risk. Our team will provide detailed instructions tailored to your needs.

Recovery varies, but patients typically return to non-strenuous activities within a week. Full recovery and return to strenuous activities might take a few weeks. Gunasheela offers guidance and support throughout the recovery process.

The cost depends on various factors, including the complexity of the procedure and whether additional fertility treatments are planned. We offer transparent pricing and financial counseling to assist with planning.

We provide comprehensive support services, including counseling, nutritional guidance, and post-operative care advice, to ensure patients and their partners are well-informed and supported throughout their fertility journey.
