Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA)

Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) is a specialized sperm retrieval procedure offered at Akshaya IVF. This technique is designed to retrieve sperm directly from the epididymis, a small, coiled tube located at the back of the testicles, in cases where sperm is not present in the ejaculate.

Key Aspects of Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA):

1. Minimally Invasive Procedure: PESA is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the insertion of a thin needle into the epididymis to aspirate sperm. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia.

2. Ideal for Certain Conditions: PESA is recommended for individuals with obstructive azoospermia, a condition where there is a blockage preventing sperm from being released in the ejaculate.

3. Sperm Retrieval for Fertility Treatments: The retrieved sperm through PESA can be used in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

4. Integration into Personalized Treatment Plans: PESA is integrated into personalized fertility treatment plans, considering the specific needs and circumstances of each patient.

Why PESA Matters:

• Overcoming Obstructive Azoospermia: PESA is a valuable option for individuals with obstructive azoospermia, providing a way to retrieve viable sperm directly from the epididymis.

• Supporting Assisted Reproductive Technologies: The sperm retrieved through PESA can be utilized in various assisted reproductive technologies, enhancing the chances of successful fertilization and conception.

• Personalized and Compassionate Care: PESA is part of the personalized and compassionate approach at Akshaya IVF, offering tailored fertility solutions to individuals and couples.
