Micro Testicular Sperm Extraction (MicroTESE)
An Overview:
As a fertility specialist dedicated to providing comprehensive care, I offer Micro Testicular Sperm Extraction (MicroTESE) as part of my range of advanced reproductive services. MicroTESE is a highly specialized surgical procedure designed to retrieve sperm directly from the testes, particularly in cases of non-obstructive azoospermia.
Understanding Non-Obstructive Azoospermia:
Non-obstructive azoospermia is a condition where the testicles produce little to no sperm due to issues with sperm production rather than blockages in the reproductive tract. This condition presents a significant challenge for couples seeking fertility treatment, as conventional methods of sperm retrieval may not be successful.
The MicroTESE Procedure:
MicroTESE involves meticulous microsurgical dissection of the testicular tissue under high magnification. Unlike traditional TESE procedures, where larger samples of testicular tissue are extracted, MicroTESE targets specific areas within the testes where sperm production is most likely to occur. This targeted approach minimizes tissue damage and maximizes the chances of finding viable sperm for use in assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF or ICSI.
