PESA is a surgical procedure used to obtain sperm from the epididymis. TESA is a surgical procedure used to obtain sperm from the testicular tissue. Micro TESE is a surgical procedure used to obtain sperm from the seminiferous tubules. Get your infertility treatment in Kanhangad from Dr. Shruthi AG.
The key difference between micro-TESE and other methods of obtaining sperm such as PESA and TESA is that the tissue obtained with micro-TESE still contains the blood vessels necessary for fertility treatment (whereas PESA and TESA do not). The semen obtained through micro-TESE can be used for ICSI or IVF treatments.

How you will be treated?
During a PESA or TESA procedure, your doctor will make a small incision in your scrotum. A needle is then inserted into your epididymis, the structure that stores sperm. Your doctor will then remove fluid and sperm from your epididymis.
These procedures are usually done with local anesthesia and sedation. You can go home the same day as the surgery, but you should avoid strenuous activity for two weeks to reduce the risk of injury to your testicles.
Micro TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) is a newer technique that involves using very fine needles to extract sperm directly from the testicle. The patient lies on his back and does not have to be put under general anesthesia.
