What is microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE)?

Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) is a minor, outpatient surgical procedure to extract sperm from the testicles when no sperm is found in the semen. It’s often used in cases of azoospermia or severe male factor infertility.

MicroTESE uses a high-powered surgical microscope to find and extract sperm. It is a more precise and targeted procedure than TESE. MicroTESE is typically more effective for patients with severe sperm production challenges.
