TESA - A procedure in which a sample of sperm and tissue is taken from the testicle through a small needle attached to a syringe. The sperm is separated from the tissue and examined under a microscope in the laboratory. It can then be used immediately to fertilize eggs or frozen for later infertility treatment. TESA can be useful for men who have fertility problems caused by a blockage that prevents sperm from ejaculating. This can be caused by a previous vasectomy, certain genetic conditions, ejaculation problems, infection, or other conditions. It may also be useful for men who are following treatments that may cause infertility, such as certain cancer treatments, want to have children. TESA is a type of sperm retrieval method. Also called testicular sperm aspiration
