Testicular Biopsy, Aspiration & Sperm Extraction
Testicular Biopsy & Aspiration refers to specialized sperm extraction techniques.
Vibrostimulation and electroejaculation for men with spinal cord injuries, retrograde ejaculation or failure or absence of ejaculation.
 Microepididymal sperm aspiration (MESA) and percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) for men with obstructed or absent ejaculatory ducts (i.e. unsuccessful vasectomy reversal, congenital absence of the vas deferens). Sperm are aspirated directly from the epididymis (the tiny collecting tubules next to the testes) for use in the ICSI procedure. The few drops of fluid may contain sufficient sperm to be frozen for several ICSI procedures.
Sperm Extraction
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) for men with obstructions or ejaculatory problems that cannot be treated by any other methods. Small samples of testicular tissue are obtained by needle biopsy and a few sperm are painstakingly dissected out of the tissue for use in the ICSI procedure.
Male Infertility Screening Tests
Screening tests and other diagnostic tests for severe male infertility:
• Genetic testing (chromosomal)
• Microdeletion
• Nuclear chromation fragmentation
• Hormonal screens
• Cystic Fibrosis screening
