Surgical Sperm Retrieval
Surgical Sperm Retrieval Services at HOPE Women’s Hospital
Surgical sperm retrieval is a specialized procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the male reproductive tract for use in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). At HOPE Women’s Hospital, we offer comprehensive surgical sperm retrieval services as part of our advanced fertility care. Led by experienced specialists like Dr. Yesha Chokshi-Shah and Dr. Anita Jayant Shah, our team is dedicated to providing personalized, effective, and compassionate care to help individuals and couples overcome male infertility challenges. .What is Surgical Sperm Retrieval?
Surgical sperm retrieval is performed when sperm cannot be obtained through other means, such as ejaculation, due to conditions like obstructive azoospermia, non-obstructive azoospermia, or prior vasectomy. The procedure involves retrieving sperm directly from the testicles (testicular sperm extraction – TESE) or the epididymis (epididymal sperm aspiration – MESA or PESA) using minimally invasive surgical techniques.
