Who is this surgery for?
- Abnormal semen analysis results (low count, poor motility, abnormal morphology).
- Diagnosed conditions such as varicocele, obstructive azoospermia, or ejaculatory duct obstruction.
- Hormonal imbalances affecting sperm production (e.g., low testosterone, elevated prolactin).
- Genetic disorders impacting fertility (e.g., Klinefelter syndrome, Y-chromosome microdeletions).
- History of testicular injury, infection (like mumps orchitis), or prior surgeries (e.g., hernia repair).
- Unexplained infertility after a complete female partner evaluation.
How to prepare
- Undergo a thorough diagnostic workup, including semen analysis, blood tests for hormones, and a physical exam.
- Provide a complete medical, surgical, and lifestyle history to the urologist.
- For surgical procedures, follow pre-operative instructions such as fasting and stopping certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised.
- Adopt recommended lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight.
- Discuss all treatment options, success rates, and associated costs with the healthcare team.
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks for invasive procedures: infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
- Specific to surgeries: potential for pain, swelling, or bruising in the scrotal area; rare risk of testicular artery injury.
- For sperm retrieval procedures: minor risk of hematoma or infection at the puncture site.
- No guarantee of successful pregnancy even after treatment.
- Possible emotional and psychological stress associated with fertility treatments.
Recovery & hospital stay

- Keep the surgical area clean and dry; watch for signs of infection like increased redness, swelling, or fever.

Saanvi Saxena, 34, is a software...
Saanvi Saxena, 34, is a software engineer who has been trying to conceive with her husband for three years. After initial fertility testing revealed her husband had a very low sperm count, they were referred to a urologist. The urologist diagnosed him with obstructive azoospermia, where sperm is produced but blocked from being ejaculated. The doctor recommended a procedure called Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) to retrieve sperm directly from the epididymis for use with IVF. The minimally invasive procedure was performed under local anesthesia. Recovery involved a few days of mild soreness and swelling. The retrieval was successful, yielding viable sperm that was frozen. Saanvi felt a heavy mix of hope and anxiety before the procedure, fearing it might fail. After the successful retrieval, she felt a profound sense of relief and renewed optimism, feeling they had finally gained a tangible chance to build their family.
