Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)

(Testicular Sperm Extraction: TESE)

Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a minor surgery to take sperms from a testicle to fertilize a woman's egg with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) technique. TEST can be processed on the same day with egg collection to fertilize the egg on that day, or having surgery before the ovarian stimulation to check whether there are sperms in the testicle or not before freezing them for fertilization in the future.

A man who suits TESE

1. A man has no sperm in seminal fluid or no seminal fluid from a semen analysis.
2. A man with a block semen duct problem or who is sterilized with vasectomy technique.
3. A man who cannot ejaculate seminal fluid.

Steps of TESE

1. A man is injected with pain-killer and hypnotics before and during minor surgery.
2. The doctor processes the minor surgery with a scrotum and testicle incision about 0.5-1 cm. long.
3. The testicle mass with some seminiferous tubules that have sperms inside is delivered to a lab to check whether there is enough sperm density to process ICSI or freeze it for future use.
4. Stitch the wound with an absorbable suture. After the minor surgery, rest for 30-60 minutes before going home. Ho hospitalization is required.
5. As the surgical wound is small, the male partner can resume the daily routine. Take care of the wound as same as other wounds. Follow up with the doctor in seven days.
