TESA

Testicular Sperm Aspiration or TESA is a minor procedure yet a great technological advancement in the field of male infertility. The procedure that takes about 5 to 10 minutes under sedation is a marvel for men suffering with Obstructive Azoospermia. The procedure is mainly used to find sperm and source them from where they are directly produced.

The sperm that is then found from the testes can be either directly used for an IVF-ICSI cycle or can be preserved for later use. It should, however, be noted that while TESA is a viable option for both, Obstructive Azoospermia, as well as Non-Obstructive Azoospermia. But the chances of success of TESA are higher in men with Obstructive Azoospermia.

The combined effect of TESA with artificial reproductive technology has proven to be a boon to a high percentage of couples who face trouble in natural conception.
