PESA Sperm Retrieval for Male Infertility
A minimally invasive sperm retrieval option designed to help men with blocked sperm pathways move closer to biological parenthood.
PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) is a specialized procedure used when sperm production is present but a blockage prevents sperm from reaching the ejaculate. A fine needle is used to carefully collect sperm from the epididymis, generally under local anesthesia, without requiring open surgery. At Credence IVF Hospital, experienced fertility specialists perform PESA with precision and care, with retrieved sperm available for ICSI or cryopreservation when appropriate.
Gentle & Precise Procedure
PESA uses a fine-needle aspiration technique to retrieve sperm while minimizing surgical intervention, helping support a smoother procedure and recovery.
A Path to Biological Parenthood
Retrieved sperm can be used with ICSI to assist fertilization or preserved for future treatment, giving couples an additional option when conventional sperm retrieval is not possible.
