Introduction
Beyond Vasectomy, blockages in the delicate tubes responsible for sperm transport or extremely low sperm production can make natural conception difficult. This is where Dr. Nudell’s expertise in advanced surgical techniques comes into play. Learn more about Vasectomy.
Obstructions Hinder Fertility
There are two main types of blockages that can impede the journey of sperm:
-
Non-obstructive Azoospermia:
In sperm production itself is severely impaired or absent within the testicles.
Advanced Surgical Solutions
Dr. Nudell offers several minimally invasive surgical procedures to address these challenges:
-
MESA (Microscopic Epididymal Sperm Aspiration):
For men with obstructions, sperm can be retrieved directly from the epididymis, a coiled tube next to the testicle. Dr. Nudell’s microsurgical approach (open MESA) allows for greater sperm harvest, maximizing chances for successful in vitro fertilization (IVF).
-
TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction):
This technique is used for non-obstructive azoospermia. It involves a small incision and a biopsy of testicular tissue for sperm retrieval. Dr. Nudell examines the tissue immediately to locate viable sperm for IVF.
-
Microdissection TESE:
This specialized extension of TESE uses high magnification to identify areas within the testes with sperm production. Dr. Nudell’s microsurgical expertise maximizes chances of finding sperm in even the most challenging cases.
The Importance of Experience and Expertise
These microsurgical procedures demand a high level of skill, precision, and specialized equipment. Dr. Nudell’s extensive experience in male fertility and his microsurgical background ensure optimal outcomes and the best possible chance of achieving your dream of fatherhood.
