 | | Sperm can also be aspirated from the testicles in a surgical procedure called testicular sperm aspiration, or TESA. | | | One procedure called microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration, or MESA, is used when sperm are unable to move through the genital tract due to uncorrectable blockage, congenital absence of the vas deferens or seminal vesicles. | | | When there is an absence of sperm in the ejaculate, surgical extraction procedures are performed. |

| | Sperm microinjection, better known as ICSI, is a technique that allows infertile couples with male factor infertility to have genetically-related offspring. | | | The technique was researched for many years, but it was only in late 1993 that a group of Belgian scientists demonstrated ICSI’s safety and effectiveness even in previously hopeless cases of severe sperm problems. | | | In fact, only the microinjection aspect of this technique, done in the laboratory, differs from conventional in vitro fertilization. |

| | The Risk of Major Birth Defects After Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection and In Vitro Fertilization New England Journal ... |
| | Such defects were diagnosed by one year of age in I infant in the intracytoplasmic sperm-injection group (0.3 percent), 7 infants in the in-vitro-fertilization group (0.8 percent), and 25 infants in the natural-conception group (0.6 percent). | | | When the nine infants with known inherited conditions and the seven with metabolic disorders were excluded from the analysis, the overall prevalence of birth defects was 8.0 percent in the intracytoplasmic sperm-injection group, 8.5 percent in the in-vitro fertilization group, and 4.0 percent in the natural conception group. | | | When infants with these conditions were excluded from the analysis, the odds ratio for a major birth defect was 2.5 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.6 to 4.0) in the intracytoplasmic-sperm-injection group and 2.2 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.6 to 3.0) in the in-vitro fertilization group. |
