Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)

Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE), pronounced as /tɛstɪkjʊlər spɜːrm ɪkˈstrækʃən/, is a surgical biopsy procedure performed to extract sperm directly from the testes of men who are unable to produce sperm in their semen due to certain medical conditions.

Etymology

The term Testicular Sperm Extraction is derived from the words 'testicular' (pertaining to the testes), 'sperm' (the male reproductive cell), and 'extraction' (the process of obtaining something from a mixture or compound by chemical or physical or mechanical means).

Procedure

The TESE procedure involves making a small incision in the scrotum and extracting a small amount of tissue from the testes. This tissue is then examined in a laboratory to retrieve viable sperm for use in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedures.
