Micro TESE Treatment in India

What is Micro TESE?

Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction, also called Micro TESE, is a specialised surgical procedure used to find sperm in men with very low or no sperm in their semen - a condition known as azoospermia. Unlike older techniques, Micro TESE uses a high-powered operating microscope. This allows the surgeon to identify tiny areas within the testes that are more likely to produce sperm. Instead of removing large amounts of tissue, only selected areas are examined, which helps improve sperm retrieval while reducing damage.

Advantages of Micro TESE Technique

Micro TEST utilises a high-powered microscope to identify areas in the testes that are more likely to contain sperm. This avoids removing tissue randomly, thus offering better precision than older sperm retrieval techniques.

The following are some of the key advantages of Micro TESE

• It offers higher chances of sperm retrieval in non-obstructive azoospermia cases.
• There is minimal removal of testicular tissue, which helps protect healthy areas
• There is a lower risk of damage as compared to conventional techniques
• Effective in complex cases including those having previous failed sperm retrieval attempts
• It can help couples proceed with IVF and ICSI using their own biological sperm
• Retrieved sperm can be frozen for future IVF cycles if required

Micro TESE has helped many couples facing severe male infertility issues achieve pregnancy. When done under the supervision of experienced specialists, it offers better outcomes.

Success Rates of Micro TESE Procedure

The success of the micro-TESE procedure depends on the cause of the condition. For instance, in cases of non-obstructive azoospermia, sperm retrieval rates can range between 40% to 60%. In the case of Klinefelter syndrome, it ranges between 21–72%. Once sperm are retrieved, the chances of pregnancy depend on IVF factors such as egg quality and embryo development. It is important to understand that while Micro TESE improves the chances of finding sperm, it does not guarantee pregnancy in every case.
