Microscopic Testicular Sperm Extraction (M-Tese) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to extract sperm directly from the testicles of men with a low sperm count or no sperm in their ejaculate. M-Tese is a highly specialised technique that requires the use of surgical microscopes and advanced microsurgical instruments to locate and extract viable sperm from the testicular tissue.
M-Tese is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anaesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum and locates the testicular tissue. The tissue is then examined under a high-powered microscope to locate areas where viable sperm are present. The surgeon then carefully extracts the sperm using microsurgical techniques. M-Tese is a preferred technique for extracting sperm because it has a high success rate, especially in cases where other methods have failed. It also allows for the extraction of a larger quantity of sperm than other methods, which can increase the chances of successful fertilisation.
M-Tese is often recommended for men with non-obstructive azoospermia, a condition where there is no sperm present in the ejaculate due to a blockage or other issue in the reproductive tract. In these cases, M-Tese can provide viable sperm for use in in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), two commonly used assisted reproductive technologies (ART) that can help couples conceive. The recovery time for M-Tese is minimal, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a few days. However, it is recommended that patients avoid strenuous activity and sexual intercourse for several weeks to allow the tissues to heal fully.
Microscopic Testicular Sperm Extraction (M-Tese) is a highly specialised and effective technique for extracting sperm directly from the testicles of men with low sperm count or non-obstructive azoospermia. With a high success rate and minimal recovery time, it offers hope for couples struggling with infertility. If you are considering M-Tese, consult with a fertility specialist to determine if it is the right option for you.
