What Is Surgical Sperm Retrieval?
Surgical sperm retrieval is a combination of newer methods of collecting sperm directly out of the testicles or epididymis in the absence of sperm in the ejaculate (complete absence of sperm production is called azoospermia). The techniques circumvent obstructions, production problems, or ejaculation delays so that IVF with ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) can be used to develop embryos and facilitate implantation.

Important Lab Tests Before Treatment
Who Can Benefit From Surgical Sperm Retrieval?
This treatment is especially helpful for:-
- Men with obstructive azoospermia, due to blockages (e.g. vasectomy, infection) or congenital absence of vas deferens.
- Men who are experiencing non-obstructive azoospermia which essentially means the testicles have some type of problem (hormonal issues or production issues) and do not produce sperm.
- Men with an ejaculatory dysfunction or a neurological condition that prevents sperm release.
- Couples with recurrent/repeated IVF failures and high sperm DNA fragmentation, both conditions can be improved by retrieving the sperm directly from its origin.
Standard Treatment Cost & Logistics in Delhi
Depending on the technique and hospital stay, procedural costs range between 20,000 and 60,000 rupees and in addition to the IVF and ICSI costs. The initial evaluation and diagnostics offer final quotations.
Our Surgical Sperm Retrieval Techniques
The choice of each method for you is made depending on your case, diagnostic data and reproduction aims.
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration ( PESA )
An outpatient non-surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia, a thin needle is inserted into the epididymis to retrieve previously created sperm—best used for obstructive etiologies
TESA – Testicular Sperm Aspiration
This method: Is done with local anesthesia Extracts sperm tissue from the testicle itself via a delicate needle It is fast and efficient, often employed in cases with suspected but obstructed sperm manufacture
TESE – Testicular Sperm Extraction
This is considered an open process using a tiny cut to get rid of tissue from the modible. Often used when aspiration is not adequate or for the purpose of verifying sperm homing
MicroTESE — Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction
Performed under general anesthesia with a surgical microscope is the most advanced technique. It can be used for extracting from the largely inefficient seminiferous tubules where there is a higher chance of testicular sperm being obtained and least loss of tissue, due to which also has better success (above 60% in some clinics) — very effective when it comes to non-obstructive azoospermia.
