Males who don’t have any sperm in their semen happen to have small pockets of sperm in their testicles. These pockets have various healthy sperms which can be used for IVF ICSI treatments. These pockets are accessed by experienced fertility specialist doctors and a few of them are harvested using a needle biopsy-like technique.
Testicles have small pockets that have a group of sperms inside them. These pockets are taken out from the testicles by using the operating microscope. These pockets are then opened in the lab to set the sperms free which can be further used for the IVF ICSI process. Micro TESE is a boon for those who have non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) which means the absence of sperm in the semen.
