In assisted reproductive technology, specifically in vitro fertilization (IVF), a medical procedure known as "TESA" (testicular sperm aspiration) is used to extract sperm directly from the testicles of men who may have trouble ejaculating naturally because of conditions like obstructive azoospermia or previous vasectomy.
A tiny needle is introduced into the testis during TESA in order to remove tissue samples that contain viable sperm, which are then used in vitro fertilization (IVF). In men with obstructive azoospermia, those who have had a vasectomy in the past, or in situations when other sperm retrieval techniques have not worked, it is usually advised. In a lab setting, an egg is fertilized with the recovered sperm using ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) in preparation for the eventual transfer of an embryo.
Our goal is to assist individuals and couples realize their aspirations of becoming parents via the use of cutting-edge reproductive technologies such as TESA. We will do this by offering individualized, compassionate care and by providing a team of committed specialists who will walk you through every stage of the process.
TESA is intended to address male infertility problems, offering hopeful couples new assisted reproductive options such as ICSI and IVF.
This procedure aids in the retrieval of sperm from testicles for subsequent processing in a lab setting for cryopreservation or IVF procedures.
Patients who are azoospermic undergo TESA procedures. Azoospermia is the medical word for men who do not have sperm in their semen.
The TESA treatment is carried out with little discomfort when local anesthetic or brief intravenous sedation is used.
By enabling a high sperm retrieval rate, TESA aids in the identification and treatment of pathology.
TESA is the best treatment for men with obstructive azoospermia, a condition in which the testes generate an adequate amount of sperm but are unable to discharge them because of obstructions.
The sperm obtained by TESA may be stored for use in upcoming IVF procedures.
A specialized method in assisted reproductive technology called Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is used to extract sperm directly from the testicles. Usually, the process entails the following steps:
Local anesthetic or mild sedation is frequently used during TESA procedures, to reduce pain during the treatment.
The testis is gently punctured through the scrotal skin with a tiny needle. Aspirating or extracting microscopic tissue samples from the testicular tissue is done with this needle. The desired location can be located and accessed by the doctor with the aid of ultrasonography guidance.
After tissue samples are obtained for TESA, they are brought to a lab where specialist methods are used to separate and remove viable sperm cells from the tissue.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is performed using the sperm that was extracted during the TESA technique. These sperm cells are utilized in the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) technique to fertilize recovered eggs in a lab environment, resulting in the development of embryos.
The resultant embryos are placed into the uterus of the female partner after fertilization is successful in order to potentially implant and become pregnant.
