Male Infertility Surgery


Not all types of infertility can be treated by surgery. However, if your infertility is caused by a structural issue in your reproductive system, surgery can help. 

There are several different types of male infertility surgery:

  • Varicocele repair: A varicocele is a mass of veins that can block normal blood flow from your testicles. In this surgery, your surgeon will make an incision in your lower abdomen and tie off the varicocele.
  • Varicocele embolization: A surgeon will block the vein with a varicocele, which reduces pressure and helps your body direct blood to other veins.
  • Sperm duct microsurgery or transurethral ejaculatory duct resection: In some cases, a blockage in the system that carries sperm to the penis can lead to infertility. This type of surgery removes any blockages.
  • Microsurgical sperm retrieval: If you do not have any sperm in your semen or have other problems with ejaculation, a surgeon can remove healthy sperm from your sperm ducts.
  • Vasectomy reversal: If you previously had a vasectomy, a surgeon can reserve the procedure, allowing sperm to be released into your semen again.
