Micro TESE procedure is a painless procedure under anesthesia. The aim here is to remove the tissues under the microscope, which are highly likely to include sperm. Thus, theoretically, the likelihood of finding sperm is increased, and the damage to the testicle is reduced as fewer tissues are taken. Samples of tissue taken are processed in a series to separate live sperm cells. While these cells are used in microinjection process, sperm is stored for use in different experiments in other observed tissues.
Points to consider before Micro TESE
· You should not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before operation (including water).
· Clean the operation area with a razor blade. Take a bath.
· After the operation, pressure on the testicles will cause pain and bring plenty of trousers or sweatpants.
· You will be discharged 1-2 hours after the operation.
Considerations after Micro TESE
· Liquid food intake can be started within 3 hours after the operation.
· You can take a bath on the 5th day after the operation.
· Do not have sex for 1 week.
· If you experience pain, you can use painkillers.
· If there is redness, swelling and bleeding at the operation, please tell your doctor.
· There is no stitching process because of the self-melting stitches used during micro TESE.
Risks
A micro-TESE may not produce live sperm cells. This risk depends on the underlying cause. The chance of finding sperm in a patient with obstruction in the sperm channels; It is higher than the patient with hormonal or genetic problem. After surgery rarely can be bleeding at the site of operation, bleeding
