Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)

Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a surgical sperm retrieval procedure performed in selected cases of azoospermia, where sperm are absent in the semen sample. The procedure may be considered as part of assisted reproductive treatment planning in selected infertility situations.

TESE procedures are generally performed in a hospital or daycare setting under anesthesia. During the procedure, a small sample of testicular tissue is obtained for identification and retrieval of sperm from within the testes.

Different sperm retrieval techniques may be considered depending on the underlying clinical condition and type of azoospermia. These may include testicular sperm extraction, testicular sperm aspiration, epididymal sperm aspiration, and microdissection sperm retrieval procedures where clinically appropriate.

Selection of the sperm retrieval technique depends on multiple factors, including the cause of azoospermia, clinical findings, laboratory planning, and reproductive treatment requirements.

TESE and related sperm retrieval procedures are performed at Krishna IVF as part of individualized male infertility evaluation and assisted reproductive treatment workflows.
