Micro TESE in Indore: Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction
Micro-TESE uses an operating microscope to find sperm-producing tubules in men with non-obstructive azoospermia. Learn eligibility, chances and recovery.
In non-obstructive azoospermia, the testes produce very little sperm, often only in small patches. Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) uses a high-powered operating microscope to identify and remove the tubules most likely to contain sperm, while minimising tissue damage. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, micro-TESE is planned with a male infertility surgeon and our embryology team.
Who Is a Candidate?
Men with non-obstructive azoospermia after evaluation, including hormone tests and genetic tests (karyotype and Y-chromosome microdeletion). Some genetic findings, such as complete AZFa or AZFb deletions, make sperm retrieval very unlikely, so testing beforehand is important. Men with Klinefelter syndrome may still have sperm found in some cases.
The Procedure
Performed under anaesthesia, the testis is opened and examined under the microscope. Small samples are taken and checked by embryologists in real time. The procedure may take a few hours. Any sperm found can be used for ICSI, either the same or next day with the partner's egg collection, or frozen for later.
Chances and Alternatives
Sperm is found in a proportion of men with non-obstructive azoospermia; your surgeon will give a personalised estimate. If no sperm is found, options include donor sperm or adoption, discussed with counselling.
