Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction

If a man has azoospermia or zero sperm and the chances of extracting sperm from the testicle through a biopsy (tissue sampling) are assessed to be very low, microtestis surgery is performed. During this open surgery, different parts of the testicle are examined to extract healthy sperm for fertilization with an egg or freezing for future pregnancies.

Zero sperm (azoospermia) is one of the most common infertility problems in men, which shows zero sperm count in a spermogram test. In infertile men, azoospermia occurs due to two reasons: a severe decrease in sperm production in the testicles and blockage of the seminal ducts, both of which can be caused by hereditary origins, infectious diseases, or even medical injuries.

According to research, one of the best and most accurate methods of assisted reproduction in men with azoospermia is Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction. In the microsurgical testicular sperm extraction method, the testicular tissue of men whose sperm count is zero or close to zero is examined through microscopic methods. If there is sperm in the testicular sample, the received sperm is frozen and used in infertility treatment methods.
