Surgical Sperm Recovery

Surgical Sperm Recovery - MESA, PESA, TESA and TESE

These are jargon for various techniques to obtain sperm from the epididymis or testis from men who have no sperm in their ejaculate. If the cause is an obstruction then the sperm retrieval procedure is usually simple and can be done under local anaesthetic with sperm being frozen for future use. If the cause is “non-obstructive” then the procedure will be more complex and best results are achieved with microsurgical techniques.

The above techniques may be used in various cases such as previous vasectomy, oncology related disorders, trauma, congenital disorders of the male reproductive organs or impotence.
