Blog on : Micro-TESE: A Revolutionary Solution for Male Infertility


Azoospermia, often called zero sperm count, is a condition where no sperm is found in the semen. This can be a stressful and emotional challenge for men, especially those trying to have children. In cases of non-obstructive azoospermia, where the testicles produce very little or no sperm, a procedure called Micro-TESE (Microscopic Testicular Sperm Extraction) provides hope.

At Isha Women’s Hospital, Dr. Chinmay Pataki has transformed the treatment of azoospermia using advanced Micro-TESE techniques. With training from the prestigious Weil Cornell Medical College in New York, USA, Dr Chinmay Pataki is the first IVF specialist in India to introduce this expertise. His leadership has made Isha Women’s Hospital a top center for IVF and male fertility treatments in Mumbai.

What is Micro-TESE?

Micro-TESE is a cutting-edge surgical procedure designed to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles of men with non-obstructive azoospermia. Unlike conventional methods like TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) or PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration), Micro-TESE uses an operating microscope to meticulously examine testicular tissue and identify areas with the highest likelihood of sperm production. This precision minimizes tissue damage and enhances the chances of retrieving viable sperm.

Micro-TESE is widely regarded as the best method for retrieving sperm in cases of non-obstructive azoospermia. Here’s why:

  • Higher Success Rates: Using a microscope allows for precise sperm extraction, greatly improving the chances of finding viable sperm compared to traditional methods.
  • Reduced Tissue Damage: The meticulous technique minimizes harm to surrounding tissues, helping preserve the health of the testicles.
  • State-of-the-art Technology: This procedure uses advanced equipment and surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes.
  • Opportunity for Biological Parenthood: Micro-TESE gives men the chance to have a child using their own sperm.
