Micro-TESE
ON THIS PAGE
Introduction
Are you struggling to conceive a child or have an obstruction during ejaculation that prevents the release of viable sperm? Then, Dr. Supriya Puranik is here to help you.
What is Micro-TESE?
Micro-TESE, or Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction, is a surgical procedure performed on men with non-obstructive azoospermia. Azoospermia is a condition where there is no sperm present in the semen. Micro-TESE is a delicate technique performed under high magnification utilizing a surgical microscope. The procedure aims to identify and extract the most viable sperm from the testicle for use in assisted reproduction.
How Does Micro-TESE Work?
Micro-TESE involves making a small incision in the testicle and using a high-powered surgical microscope to identify and extract sperm from the testicular tissue. The tissue is then examined under the microscope to confirm whether or not there are viable sperm cells. Once located, the sperm are extracted, isolated, and used for IVF (In vitro fertilization) or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). With Micro-TESE, sperm cells with the highest chance of fertilization can be obtained with great precision.
Eligibility
Micro-TESE is particularly suitable for men with non-obstructive azoospermia. This type of azoospermia is often due to testicular problems such as hormonal imbalances, damage from radiation or chemotherapy, or genetic issues. A thorough examination by Dr. Supriya Puranik is important to determine your eligibility for the procedure.
If you’ve been diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia, please know that Micro-TESE could still be an option. Furthermore, Dr. Puranik takes a personalized approach to fertility treatment, ensuring each patient receives a tailored plan that considers their specific issues.
Why Choose Micro-TESE?
Micro-TESE allows couples to achieve their dream of having a biological child. With this procedure, the sperm is extracted directly from the testis, which means patients have a greater chance of success with assisted reproduction. Micro-TESE is a highly specialized technique performed by Dr. Supriya Puranik, a highly skilled IVF specialist who provides comprehensive care focusing on empathy and patient-centred treatment programs.
Benefits of Micro-TESE
Micro-TESE offers several benefits, including:
- Better chance of success: Micro-TESE helps identify the most viable sperm, allowing for greater success in assisted reproduction. The procedure may provide a solution where other treatments have failed.
- Effective for Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: Not all men with non-obstructive azoospermia can produce viable sperm, but Micro-TESE can help identify viable sperm when present. The procedure is a promising option for those with non-obstructive azoospermia.
- Minimally invasive procedure: Micro-TESE is minimally invasive compared to other procedures that might require more extensive surgery, resulting in a minimal risk of complications and a shorter recovery time.
- Personalized Treatment: Dr. Supriya Puranik provides individualized consultations to ensure each patient receives personalized care and treatment. This method increases the likelihood of favorable treatment outcomes.
- Cost-effective: Micro-TESE offers a cost-effective approach to fertility treatment by improving the chances of success in a single procedure. Patients can also avoid costly procedures like repeated IVF cycles.
