Overview
Sperm retrieval care for male infertility
At Nakshatra Clinic Baner, Pune, Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is offered as a minimally invasive procedure to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles.

The procedure and related retrieval options are discussed after evaluating the cause, semen findings, and the couple's fertility plan.
Sperm Retrieval Options
Procedures used in selected male infertility cases
Common sperm retrieval methods and how each option may support fertility treatment planning.
TESA
Testicular Sperm Aspiration uses a fine needle to collect sperm directly from the testicle, commonly under local anesthesia, and may help in azoospermia or duct blockage cases.
PESA
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration collects sperm from the epididymis and is often considered in obstructive azoospermia, including blockage after infection or vasectomy.
TESE
Testicular Sperm Extraction involves a small incision to collect seminiferous tubule tissue, often used when sperm production is reduced or sperm is not found in semen.
MESA
Microepididymal Sperm Aspiration uses magnification to retrieve sperm from the epididymis and may be used in vasal or epididymal obstruction.
Micro-TESE
Microdissection TESE uses microscope guidance to look for sperm-containing tissue while aiming to limit unnecessary tissue removal in severe azoospermia cases.
PVS
Penile Vibratory Stimulation is a non-surgical method that may help stimulate ejaculation in selected cases such as spinal injury or anejaculation.
EEJ
Electro-Ejaculation uses controlled stimulation to obtain semen in selected nerve-related ejaculation concerns or retrograde ejaculation situations.
How Care Is Planned
Choosing the right retrieval method
The method is selected after clinical evaluation, semen findings, suspected blockage, sperm production status, and IVF or ICSI requirements.
Semen and history review
Reports, previous procedures, infections, ejaculation concerns, and fertility treatment plans are reviewed before selecting an option.
Obstruction assessment
When sperm production is present but transport is blocked, epididymal or testicular retrieval options may be considered.
Production assessment
When sperm production is very low, TESE or Micro-TESE may be discussed as part of a male infertility plan.
Lab coordination
Retrieved sperm is assessed by the fertility lab and coordinated with IVF or ICSI planning when clinically suitable.
