Home > Surgical Sperm Retrieval
Surgical Sperm Retrieval refers to advanced procedures used to collect sperm directly from the testis or epididymis when sperm is not found in the semen (azoospermia) or in cases of severe male infertility.
At Shree Navami Fertility Centre, Mancherial, surgical sperm retrieval is performed with precision to ensure the best chances of success in fertility treatments like IVF and ICSI.
Azoospermia → No sperm in semen due to blockage or production issues
Failed Vasectomy Reversal
Severe male infertility with very low sperm count
Couples with repeated ICSI/IVF failures due to poor sperm quality
There are different techniques to retrieve sperm directly from the testis or epididymis, depending on the cause of infertility. The most common include TESA, PESA, TESE, and Micro-TESE, each chosen based on the patient’s condition for best fertility outcomes.
Sperm is aspirated directly from the testis using a fine needle
Performed under local anesthesia
Useful for men with obstructive azoospermia
Sperm is retrieved from the epididymis (tubules where sperm matures)
Minimally invasive, quick procedure
Commonly used in obstructive azoospermia
Small tissue samples are taken from the testis surgically
Sperm cells are extracted from tissue in the lab
Recommended for non-obstructive azoospermia
Advanced technique using a microscope to identify sperm-containing tubules
Higher success rate for severe male infertility cases
Fertility-preserving and precise procedure
