Micro testicular sperm extraction in Dubai - Overview
Testicular sperm extraction for fertility is a groundbreaking procedure in the field of male reproductive medicine. The technique addresses male infertility, particularly cases of non-obstructive azoospermia.
Micro testicular sperm extraction utilizes a high-powered microscope to identify and extract sperm-producing tubules within the testicle. Compared to traditional sperm extraction techniques, this procedure improves sperm retrieval rates while minimizing tissue damage.
Who needs Micro TESE?
Men with non-obstructive Azoospermia or NOA – absence of sperm in semen due to impaired sperm production. People with normal hormone levels but no sperm in ejaculation. Other factors include,
Age-related factors: Aged men with decreased sperm production or young men with early testicular failure.
Genetic conditions: genetic conditions that affect sperm production and patients with chromosomal abnormalities.
Medical conditions: patients with undescended testicles, male infertility, Klinefelter syndrome, and testicular failure post-chemotherapy.
Previous failed procedures: no results after conventional TESE or in cases where previous sperm extraction was unsuccessful.
Testicular sperm extraction for fertility - What happens before the procedure?

Take the First Step
Micro testicular sperm extraction - The Procedure
Dr Muthana performs micro testicular sperm extraction under general anaesthesia. Once you’re asleep,
- Step 1 – The doctor uses a surgical knife to make a single incision in the middle of your scrotum. He uncovers the testicles and examines them under a high-powered surgical microscope to check for enlarged sperm-producing tubes or seminiferous tubules. Bulging tubes tend to have sperm.
- Step 2 – The surgeon will then extract tissue samples from tubes in one testicle and repeat the same procedure for another testicle.
- Step 3 – Finally, after extracting the tissue samples, the surgeon will cover the wound with tiny stitches. The removed tissue sample is examined under a microscope.
- Step 4 – The technologist will search for the sperm under a microscope. If it’s identified, the technician will remove it and freeze it in liquid nitrogen.
- Step 5 – The frozen sperm is then used in the IVF procedure. In some instances, sperm presence is visible immediately after the surgery. But, sometimes, you get an update a day after the surgery.
Micro testicular sperm extraction - Recovery
The procedure takes around 2 hours, and most people recover within a few weeks. The doctor will advise you to avoid heavy exercises and weight lifting for the initial days after surgery. The first two days are painful, so use ice packs and antibiotics prescribed by the doctor for pain relief.
What are the possible risks associated with Micro testicular sperm extraction?
Micro testicular sperm extraction for fertility is a minor surgery with very few risks. Most problems are managed conservatively. Some general risks include,
- Anesthesia risk
- Discomfort or pain for a few days
- Inflamed or discolored scrotum
- Infection or bleeding
- There is a rare chance of testicle injury.
Micro TESE success rate - Expected Results
The micro TESE success rate is favourable for most men undergoing surgery. Surgeons locate sperm roughly for about 40 to 60% during the micro TESE treatments. If you prefer to use all the sperm for IVF, you need more than one micro TESE surgery.
Benefits of choosing micro testicular sperm extraction for fertility
Higher Sperm Retrieval Success Rate
Compared to traditional TESE, micro-TESE improves the chances of finding viable sperm with precise identification.
Reduced Testicular Damage
Micro-TESE uses an operating microscope to minimize unnecessary tissue removal and preserve testicular function.
Lower Risk of Complications
Less invasive than multiple random biopsies, reducing bleeding, scarring, and post-operative complications.
Single Procedure with Higher Yield
Since micro-TESE is highly targeted, it often eliminates the need for multiple procedures to retrieve sperm.
