Surgical sperm retrieval

Surgical sperm retrieval refers to procedures used to obtain sperm directly from the male reproductive system when there is no sperm present in the ejaculate. This could be due to various reasons, and the specific technique used depends on the underlying cause. Common methods include:

• PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration): Sperm is obtained directly from the epididymis (where sperm mature) using a fine needle.
• TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration): Similar to PESA, but sperm are collected from the testicles themselves.
• TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction): A small biopsy of testicular tissue is taken to search for usable sperm.

Why is Surgical Sperm Retrieval Needed?

• Azoospermia: A condition where no sperm are found in the semen. It could be obstructive (blockage preventing sperm release) or non-obstructive (sperm production issues).
• Vasectomy Reversal: If a vasectomy has been performed but there's a desire for children, sperm retrieval allows for conception using IVF/ICSI.
• Severe Male Factor Infertility: When sperm count is extremely low, or sperm quality is insufficient for ICSI, retrieval may be the only option.
• Retrograde Ejaculation: A condition where semen travels backward into the bladder instead of being ejaculated.
