Sperm Aspiration

In cases where there are no sperm in the semen, or after a vasectomy, it may be possible to harvest sperm from the testicle or from the surrounding tubes. Over the last ten years the technology to perform this procedure has advanced to where we can find sperm in many cases that were previously considered hopeless. Even small numbers of sperm can now be used to successfully create a pregnancy. Depending on the situation, these procedures can be performed in the office or as a brief procedure in an outpatient operating room.
