Microsurgical TESE | NOA Treatment (Micro-TESE)
Micro-TESE (Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction) is the most advanced technique available for finding sperm in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) - one of the most challenging conditions in male infertility. At Gynolife IVF Center our skilled microsurgeons use high-powered surgical microscopes to identify and extract sperm-producing tubules from the testicular tissue.
This precision approach significantly increases the chances of finding viable sperm compared to conventional TESE while minimizing tissue damage. The retrieved sperm is then used for ICSI to achieve fertilization. Micro-TESE at Gynolife represents the highest standard of care for severe male factor infertility.
Why Choose Micro-TESE?
- Highest sperm retrieval success rate for non-obstructive azoospermia
- Uses high-powered surgical microscope for precision extraction
- Minimizes testicular tissue damage compared to conventional TESE
- Identifies sperm-producing tubules with greater accuracy
- Performed by experienced microsurgeons at Gynolife
- Retrieved sperm used directly for ICSI fertilization
- Represents the gold standard for severe male factor infertility treatment
5 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Top 5 FAQs About Micro-TESE
Micro-TESE is a microsurgical procedure performed under a microscope to identify and extract sperm from the testicles in men with non-obstructive azoospermia. Unlike standard TESE, Micro-TESE is more precise and has higher success rates with less tissue damage.
Men diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia (cases where there is no sperm in the semen yet the testicles can still produce some sperm) are ideal candidates. It is especially recommended when other retrieval techniques have been unsuccessful.
Micro-TESE is performed under general anesthesia, so patients feel no pain during the procedure. Recovery typically involves mild discomfort for a few days, managed easily with medication.
Success rates vary based on the individual’s condition, but Micro-TESE often yields sperm in 40–60% of men with NOA — significantly higher than conventional TESE.
Yes. If viable sperm are retrieved, they can be used immediately for ICSI or frozen (cryopreserved) for future IVF attempts, giving patients multiple options and flexibility.
