Surgical Treatment Options

Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive through natural means. Male infertility, in particular, refers to a condition that affects individuals assigned male at birth (AMAB), hindering their ability to impregnate a female partner. It can arise from issues such as low sperm production, abnormal sperm, or blockages in the tubes carrying sperm.

This condition can often be treated with advanced surgical treatments that address underlying issues like blockages and varicoceles. Procedures such as varicocelectomy, vasectomy reversal, and surgical sperm extraction are effective methods that restore male fertility, offering renewed hope to couples struggling to conceive. Understanding each surgical treatment option is essential for individuals to make confident and informed decisions for optimal outcomes.

Surgical Treatments for Male Infertility

Here are the different surgical treatment options available for male infertility:

  • Varicocelectomy: This surgical treatment is performed in cases of varicocele (when blood backs up in the veins along the spermatic cord). The procedure involves surgically sealing off the affected vein or veins and redirecting blood flow to healthier veins to improve sperm production.
  • Varicocele Embolisation: Another treatment for varicocele, this minimally invasive procedure redirects blood away from the enlarged varicocele. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the groin to block the affected veins, allowing blood to flow through healthier veins.
  • Transurethral Ejaculatory Duct Resection: This surgery procedure is performed when the ejaculatory duct (the tube carrying semen from the seminal vesicles to the urethra) is blocked. The procedure involves inserting a resectoscope (a telescopic device) into the urethra to clear the obstruction and restore normal flow.
  • Vasectomy Reversal: This surgery is performed to restore sperm movement through vas deferens after a vasectomy. The procedure involves reconnecting the separated ends of the vas deferens to allow sperm to move through the epididymis (a tube that transports maturing sperm from the testicles to the vas deferens) and bypass any blockages produced by the vasectomy.
  • Epididymovasostomy: This microsurgical procedure is performed when there is a blockage in the epididymis (a duct behind the testis). It is often performed after injury or infection to eliminate the blockage, allowing sperm to flow freely.
  • Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction: This surgical treatment is recommended for men with severe deficits in sperm production. The procedure involves making a small incision in the scrotum to extract healthy testicle tissue containing sperm.
