Micro-TESE (Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction) is an advanced surgical procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles in men with severe male infertility or no sperm in semen.
Micro-TESE is recommended for men with non-obstructive azoospermia, severe male infertility, previous failed sperm retrieval procedures, or genetic and hormonal conditions affecting sperm production. The retrieved sperm can later be used in advanced fertility treatments like IVF with ICSI to improve pregnancy chances.
While both IVF and ICSI involve egg fertilization outside the body, the main distinction is in the method:
In IVF, eggs and sperms are mixed together, allowing sperm to naturally penetrate the egg.
In ICSI, a single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg, increasing success rates, especially for men with low sperm count or motility.
The Micro-TESE procedure is performed under anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort and a pain-free surgical experience for the patient.
A small and carefully planned incision is made in the testicular tissue to access areas where sperm production may be present.
An advanced surgical microscope is used to identify tiny seminiferous tubules that are more likely to contain healthy sperm cells.
Small tissue samples are carefully removed from selected areas with high precision to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
Retrieved sperm can be used immediately or safely frozen for future IVF or ICSI fertility treatments to improve pregnancy chances.
Since the procedure is highly precise, it helps preserve healthy testicular tissue and reduces the risk of complications.
The microscope-guided technique increases the chances of finding sperm, especially in men with severe male infertility conditions.
The extracted tissue samples are immediately examined in the laboratory by fertility experts to locate viable sperm.

Sperm freezing treatment costs generally include the initial fertility consultation, semen analysis, sperm collection procedure, laboratory processing, cryopreservation, and storage charges. The total cost may vary depending on the number of samples stored, freezing technology used, and storage duration selected by the patient.
The total sperm freezing cost is usually divided into fertility assessment, semen analysis, sperm preparation and washing, cryopreservation procedure, laboratory handling, and annual storage fees. Advanced laboratory techniques help preserve sperm quality and improve future fertility treatment outcomes.
Additional charges may apply for advanced semen testing, viral marker screening, multiple sample collections, extended storage duration, emergency freezing procedures, or future fertility treatments such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI using frozen sperm samples. Costs may vary based on individual treatment needs.
The overall sperm freezing cost can be influenced by semen quality, number of samples collected, storage duration, laboratory infrastructure, fertility specialist expertise, and additional fertility evaluations required before the procedure. The type of cryopreservation technology used may also impact pricing.
Selecting suitable storage plans, understanding package inclusions, freezing samples early when sperm quality is better, and discussing transparent pricing options with fertility specialists can help optimize overall sperm freezing costs while ensuring safe and reliable fertility preservation.
Studies show that babies born after Micro-TESE with IVF/ICSI are generally as healthy as naturally conceived babies.
No specific increase in birth defects has been linked to the procedure itself; any risk is more related to the underlying male infertility
Testicular sperm extraction is a procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicular tissue in men with infertility.
Micro-TESE is an advanced form of sperm extraction that uses a microscope to locate and retrieve sperm more precisely.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so patients do not feel pain during surgery.
Men with non-obstructive azoospermia or severe male infertility may benefit from this procedure.
Success depends on individual conditions, but it offers better chances of sperm retrieval in difficult cases.
Our experienced fertility specialists use advanced microsurgical techniques to improve sperm retrieval outcomes in complex male infertility cases. Every procedure is performed with precision, care, and modern technology.
We provide personalized treatment planning with ethical and transparent care, ensuring complete fertility support from diagnosis to treatment for every patient.
