TESE is the operative removal of testicular tissue to collect live sperm to use in an IVF-ICSI procedure. TESE involves making a small incision in the testis and examining the tubules for the presence of live sperm. It is either done as a scheduled procedure or is coordinated with the female partner's ( Wife) egg retrieval. Men with azoospermia caused by germinal failure can now be treated successfully in many cases using testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and ICSI. Sperm can often be extracted from testicular tissue of azoospermic men with germinal failure, and used successfully for ICSI.
