Surgical Sperm Retrieval
Surgical Sperm Retrieval, SSR is a fertility treatment option for men who have low or no sperm count. This procedure involves extracting sperm directly from the testicles or epididymis through a small surgical procedure. SSR is typically recommended for men who have a blockage in their reproductive system, have undergone a vasectomy, or have a condition that hinders the ejaculation of sperm.
There are 4 techniques as below:
- PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
- TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)
- MESA (Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration assisted by microscopy)
- TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)
