Micro-TESE TREATMENT AT GEN FERTILITY
Finding Sperm When Standard Tests Cannot
Micro-TESE is a specialized surgical technique that may help retrieve sperm in selected cases of non-obstructive azoospermia.
A Specialized Approach to Sperm Retrieval
Micro-TESE may be considered when sperm production is severely impaired.

Steps in Micro-TESE
A specialist evaluates whether microsurgical sperm retrieval may be appropriate.
01— Fertility Evaluation
Medical history, hormone tests, and other relevant investigations help assess the cause of azoospermia.
02 — Assess Suitability
The specialist reviews the findings and discusses the potential benefits, limitations, and risks.

The specialist reviews the findings and discusses the potential benefits, limitations, and risks.
03 — Microsurgical Exploration
Under anesthesia, the surgeon examines testicular tissue using an operating microscope to identify areas that may contain sperm.
04 — Laboratory Examination
The retrieved tissue is examined by the laboratory for sperm.
04 — Laboratory Examination
The retrieved tissue is examined by the laboratory for sperm.
05 — Plan the Next Step
If suitable sperm are found, they may be used for ICSI or frozen for future treatment when appropriate.
Specialized Care for Complex Male Infertility
Micro-TESE requires coordinated surgical and laboratory expertise. Every treatment plan should reflect the individual’s clinical findings.

Factors Affecting Outcomes
Micro-TESE uses an operating microscope to guide sperm retrieval.
- ● Examines testicular tissue
- ● Identifies promising tissue areas
- ● Retrieves selected tissue samples
- ● Relies on laboratory examination
The technique aims to identify sperm in selected cases of impaired sperm production.
Micro-TESE may be considered in specific cases of male infertility.
- ● Non-obstructive azoospermia
- ● Severely impaired sperm production
- ● No sperm in semen samples
- ● Selected cases after prior evaluation
The specialist determines suitability after a thorough assessment.
Micro-TESE is a surgical procedure performed under anesthesia.
- ● Preoperative assessment
- ● Anesthesia and surgical preparation
- ● Microsurgical tissue examination
- ● Laboratory sperm assessment
- ● Postoperative recovery
Your specialist will explain the procedure, recovery, and follow-up plan.
The overall cost depends on the treatment requirements.
- ● Surgical complexity
- ● Anesthesia requirements
- ● Laboratory examination
- ● Sperm freezing, if applicable
- ● Additional IVF/ICSI expenses
Ask for a cost estimate covering the recommended treatment plan.
Sperm retrieval is not guaranteed.
- ● Sperm may be identified.
- ● No sperm may be found.
- ● ICSI may be considered.
- ● Freezing may be possible.
- ● Further options may be discussed.
The outcome depends on the underlying condition and individual findings.
Retrieval outcomes vary from person to person.
- ● Cause of azoospermia
- ● Testicular function
- ● Hormonal findings
- ● Genetic factors
- ● Previous treatment history
Your specialist can explain how these factors may affect your individual outlook.
Questions You May Have Before Starting Micro-TESE
It is natural to have questions when considering a specialized fertility procedure. These answers can help you understand the process.
1. What is Micro-TESE?
It is a microsurgical procedure used to search for and retrieve sperm from the testicles.
2. Who may benefit from Micro-TESE?
It may be considered for men with non-obstructive azoospermia, where sperm production is impaired.
3. Does Micro-TESE guarantee sperm retrieval?
No. Sperm may not be found, even with microsurgical exploration.
4. Can sperm retrieved through Micro-TESE be used for IVF?
Suitable retrieved sperm may be used for ICSI, depending on laboratory findings.
5. How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies. Your surgeon will provide specific guidance on rest, activity, and follow-up.
