What is TESA?
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is a minimally invasive sperm retrieval procedure used in selected male infertility cases. It involves inserting a fine needle into the testicle under local anesthesia to aspirate sperm-rich fluid or small tissue samples for use in ICSI treatment.
Step-by-Step Process
- Evaluation: A detailed consultation, semen analysis, hormonal assessment, and medical history review are performed to determine whether TESA is suitable.
- Preparation: The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia in a controlled clinical setting.
- Needle Aspiration: A fine needle is inserted into the testicle to collect sperm-rich fluid or tissue samples. The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes.
- Laboratory Processing: The collected sample is examined in the embryology laboratory, where viable sperm are isolated and prepared for use in ICSI.

TESA is highly effective for selected cases of obstructive azoospermia. It is minimally invasive, can usually be performed as an outpatient procedure, and is associated with fast recovery and minimal discomfort.
