Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration or PESA is a Surgical Sperm Retrieval (SSR) procedure where a fine needle is inserted into the epididymis, above the testis, and sperm is then obtained by gentle suction. PESA is usually recommended when male patients do not have any sperm found in their ejaculate, due to a blockage, injury or previous operation.
This procedure is usually preformed prior to starting an IVF cycle where the sperm is frozen and stored for use in conjunction with Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection ICSI during your IVF cycle.
