The patient is provided with general anesthesia to make the treatment comfortable. During the procedure, the doctor makes a small incision in the middle of the scrotum and then opens the testicles and uses a high-power operating microscope. They look for swollen seminiferous tubules to obtain sperm. Then a tissue sample is obtained from the tubules of the male testicle. Then fine stitches are made to close the testis. After collecting the tissue sample, the scrotum is closed using dissolvable sutures, and they will have minimal to no scarring. An andrology technologist will check the presence of sperm.

One does not need to worry about the recovery of the scrotum, and it is the fastest healing body part. The doctor prescribes pain medications, and self-care tips are recommended by doctors to prevent infections or bleeding after the surgery.

After surgery, males are recommended to avoid sex, ma-stur-bation, heavy weight lifting, or vigorous activity for about 10-15 days after the surgery.
