Surgical Sperm Retrieval

A remedy for situations where natural sperm ejaculation is not feasible.

In cases where a man is unable to release or generate sperm in his semen, Surgical Sperm Retrieval provides a beacon of hope. This advanced procedure enables physicians to extract sperm directly from the testicles or epididymis, regardless of whether the cause is blockages, unsuccessful vasectomy reversals, or other medical conditions. When paired with IVF or ICSI, it creates the opportunity for biological parenthood, even in instances of significant male infertility.

Who Should Consider Surgical Sperm Retrieval?

SSR is recommended for men with:

  • Obstructive Azoospermia
  • Non-Obstructive Azoospermia
  • Failed Ejaculation
  • Men with poor sperm quality or quantity
  • Cancer survivors

What is Surgical Sperm Retrieval and How Does it Work?

Surgical Sperm Retrieval (SSR) is a medical procedure designed to obtain sperm directly from the male reproductive system, specifically from the testis, epididymis, or vas deferens. This technique is utilized when sperm is not present in the ejaculate, which may be due to an obstruction (obstructive azoospermia) or a problem with sperm production (non-obstructive azoospermia).

The procedure is conducted under either local or general anesthesia and entails the collection of viable sperm for application in assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF or ICSI.
