Surgical Sperm Retrieval​

Treating Significant Sperm Issues

Helping you to achieve what was once impossible...

Surgical Sperm Retrieval is a technique for collecting sperm directly from a man’s testicles or epididymis. It is a procedure carried out under local anaesthetic and/or with sedation. The fertility team may use different methods of SSR depending on your hormone levels and testicular size.

Who is surgical sperm retrieval suitable for?

There are a number of reasons why a man may have little or no sperm in his sample. Some have to do with genetic factors whilst others are related to previous illnesses.

For men where no sperm is found in a sample the first step is usually testing, most commonly with blood tests and an ultrasound to try and determine the cause. Following testing your doctor will discuss with you the pros and cons of surgical sperm retrieval and whether it is suitable for you. It can also be indicated for those with a high degree of fragmentation in their sperm DNA.

Surgical Sperm Retrieval​
FAQs

Azoospermia is a condition in which there’s no measurable sperm in a man’s semen. Sometimes the cause of azoospermia is down to genetics. However it can also occur as a result of sexually transmitted infections, blockages along the reproductive tract, hormonal problems, ejaculation problems or issues with testicular structure or function. Sometimes, the causes are treatable and fertility can be restored. 

There is no evidence to show that collecting sperm surgically poses a risk to the health and wellbeing of any children conceived with it. Research has shown that sperm extracted surgically may not fertilise as well, although this could be due to the fact that some sperm is of lower quality.

I can't thank Thérapie Fertility enough for their care, honesty and compassion. My first consultation was with Nurse Lucie and then with Dr. John Kennedy. I felt at ease from the moment I met them. John was honest and open and so knowledgeable. I had so many Q's as IVF/ICSI was alien to me. We decided then and there to proceed and our ICSI journey began. From initial tests, to scans the care the staff give is amazing they're all so friendly and really helpful. Always at the end of a text on the patient portal if you had any questions. Fast forward to transfer day, I was so nervous but Dr. John Kennedy and Carol were brilliant. Talked me through every step and the procedure so was quick and pain free. A few weeks later I got a call from John with the most amazing news and today I'm 22 weeks pregnant. Can't wait for August for our new arrival and to introduce him/her to all the team. You guys are amazing at what you do and I'm so thankful for everything you did for me.

How do you go about reviewing a clinic that changed the course of your life so profoundly? It's hard to condense our experience with Therapie. We had an initial consultation with another well known clinic, we absolutely didn't "vibe" with the clinic. Then we got in touch with Therapie. You're not treated at arms length with Therapie, you're all on the same team. The world of infertility is already hard enough, the staff in TF are so kind, it's a very humbling experience to go through this process and they are with you every step of the way. We met Dr Kennedy once for our consultation, then again for retrieval and embryo transfer and met Dr Mengat once for a hycosy, they're wonderful but it's all the nurses and assistants you meet on every visit that you see face to face and words can't describe how amazing they all are. Results are as follows: age 34, amh 11.6 pmol, retrieved 7 mature eggs, 5 fertilised, 2 made it to frozen on day 6. The first transfer is sitting beside me here at 6 months. Thank you is not enough.

I had my egg freezing in November. The two ultrasounds I had were quite uncomfortable but my nurse lucie was unbelievably patient with me and gave me plenty of time and space to relax. Lucie looked like she was willing to try another 50 times if needed, and she never once came across as frustrated with me. I was very nervous on the day of retrieval , once I let the nurses know, they were extra good to me. Thank you to Lucie and all the team. Dr John and his nurses were great on the day, cannula was inserted in seconds and I was out. The highlight of the day was in recovery after the egg collection I woke up to 3 or 4 lotus biscuits, followed by dr John coming out to deliver the good results. Thank you, see you in the future !

I cannot thank Therapie Fertility Carrickmines enough. From the very beginning they were so welcoming, professional, reassuring and friendly. I felt very comfortable and at ease at every appointment. It was great having the satellite clinic in Dundalk also. The staff are all amazing. I have and will always recommend Therapie Fertility Carrickmines to anyone who may need them.

So happy with Therapie. From the first nurse consultation all the way through to the pregnancy scan, we were so comfortable with all the staff we met. The minute we met Dr Kennedy we knew he was the doctor for us and that Therapie was the clinic for us. He was so nice, so informative and to the point with us. I was excited leaving the dr consultation appointment. Another thing we liked was how quick the process was. I have friends attending other clinics and they are waiting months for appointments. We also felt very supported with the contact on the portal from the nurses. Any questions we had were answered so quickly. We had ICSI and were lucky to get pregnant with the first embryo transfer. We now have a gorgeous baby boy. We will be returning to the clinic in the future to use our other embryos. I can’t speak highly enough about how great this clinic is! Thank you

My journey with Therapie Fertility has been an amazing one, from the very start I was well informed, understood every part of the process and felt Dr Kennedy and the team had my best interests at heart. I started my journey as an older smbc with a history of unsuccessful pregnancies. When I met with Dr Kennedy he worked out my success rate (which was low) and the best way for me to have successful pregnancy in as quick a timeframe that I was comfortable with, this open, honest & personal approach to my circumstance was key for me and as I write this I am cuddling my 8 week old baby 💖 Working with the team feels like being part of a family where everyone is behind you and the support has been amazing, for anyone embarking on the fertility journey I cannot recommend Therapie Fertility enough, they have given me my happily ever after 💖

From the very beginning we Found all staff to be very welcoming & put you at ease straight away in what is a very difficult and emotional road. They explain everything so well, respond to emails promptly and allow you the time to come to terms with all the information they have given you- they are in no rush to get you out the door when the tears keep flowing which makes it all so much more bearable. Cannot fault them
