How successful is SSR?
Success rates look promising – so far. One clinic we spoke to said that men with obstructive azoospermia have a very high chance of recovering sperm via SSR (over 90%). For men with non-obstructive azoospermia, another clinic said the chances of recovering sperm is approximately 40%.
How long does a TESE procedure take?
The procedure takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Recovery is shorter and significantly less painful. While open testicular surgery may require a recovery period of nearly a week, TESA is often done on a Friday afternoon, allowing men to rest and heal over the weekend and return to work Monday.

Testicular/Epididymal Sperm Extraction (TESE) TESE is also done as an outpatient procedure with IV sedation and local numbing medication but recovery will be longer, 3-5 days or more, due to the incisions. TESE may also be performed if PESA is not successful in cases of men who have had a prior vasectomy.
What is Micro TESE?
Microscopic testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) is a procedure that takes sperm directly from the testicular tissue of a man’s reproductive system.

How is micro TESE performed?
A urologist, a doctor who specializes in the male and female urinary tract and male reproductive organs, typically performs the procedure by making a few small cuts in the testicle and removing a small amount of tissue.

What is Micro-Micro Tese?
micro TESE was first performed at the time of oocyte retrieval. This was called a ‘fresh’ sperm retrieval. However, many recent studies (see references below), including our own work, have shown that cryopreserved testicular sperm work exceptionally well and also have significant advantages:
What is TESA or micro Tese?
TESA or Micro TESE are small surgical operations performed with a microscope. These procedures make it possible to extract live sperm from within the testicles. TESA and Micro TESE operations are carried out very successfully at our Cyprus Miracle IVF Centre by Dr. Firdevs.
