Показання до проведення:

  • suspicion of a testicular malignancy;
  • obtaining germ cells for ART.

 

Переваги:

TheIVMEDMedical Center uses various types of biopsies:

  • Minimally traumatic - by sampling germ cells with a syringe through a puncture in the skin from the:
    • of testicular tissue - TESA;
    • of the testicular epididymis - PESA.
  • Traumatic - through a small incision in the:
    • testicle - TESE;
    • of the epididymis - MESE.

The trauma of open access is relative, as the operation is performed under local or general anesthesia (at the request of the patient), through a tiny incision, which, after obtaining the germ cells, is closed with an invisible cosmetic suture. The patient is advised to avoid the recovery period of 1.5 weeks:

  • physical activity;
  • sexual intercourse.

If the IVF program is performed on the same day, fresh material is used. In the case of a delayed program, sperm is cryopreserved.

Preparation and/or course of the procedure

Follow your doctor's recommendations before the procedure.

Features and interesting facts

The absence of spermatozoa in semen (azoospermia) occurs in 2% of men and is caused by:

  • infection, inflammation, and STDs;
  • operations performed in the genitourinary system and pelvic organs;
  • malignant neoplasms and narrowing of the vas deferens;
  • genetic diseases;
  • bad habits.

In infertile men, azoospermia is diagnosed in 10-15% of cases of fertility disorders. In 50% of cases, the cause of azoospermia cannot be determined.

Another cause of male infertility is impaired sperm output - anejaculation, which, in addition to the above factors, is caused by:

  • therapy with the use of antihypertensive, antipsychotic drugs and antidepressants;
  • diseases of the endocrine system, hormonal imbalance, metabolic disorders;
  • pathologies of the nervous system (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, autonomic neuropathy);
  • injuries of the spine and pelvic organs;
  • intoxication and work in hazardous conditions;
  • exposure to ionizing radiation.

If it is not possible to obtain sperm naturally, various types of biopsies of the epididymis or testicles are used.
