Micro TESE retrieves sperm from testicular tissue using small incisions and a microscope. Performed under general anesthesia, patients can go home the same day and resume normal activities in one to two weeks.
Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) retrieves sperm directly from testicular tissue in azoospermic patients. A wide-bore needle is inserted percutaneously, applying suction to extract tissue for potential use in fertility treatments.
The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) assesses DNA integrity and damage in sperm, offering insights into male fertility beyond traditional semen analysis for those seeking infertility treatments.
The microfluidics sperm sorter is an advanced technology that separates highly motile, structurally normal sperm with good DNA integrity from semen, optimizing sperm selection for fertility treatments.
Semen analysis is the initial test for evaluating male fertility potential, providing insights into sperm production, maturation, and the ejaculatory process. It should be conducted by a specialized andrology laboratory.
