Micro TESE

In certain cases, spermatozoid levels in testicles can be so low that it takes place only at very specific points, which can’t be located before a biopsy. We then apply a special search technique - m-TESE - microsurgical TEsticular Sperm Extraction. The doctor opens the testicles though incision and uses a high-power operating microscope to locate seminiferous tubules that are swollen and may contain sperm. Such surgery can be useful for patients whose spermatozoids were not found during regular biopsy, or when before any spermatozoid examination treatment the doctor suspects little chance of finding them (e.g. reduced testicle size, various genetic problems).

Any sperm retrieval treatment is performed in the surgery room under local or general anaesthesia - so is completely painless.
