Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) in Apex Hospital & IVF Centre

Apex Hospital & IVF Centre is a multi-specialty hospital in Sirsa, India. It opened in 2001 and covers four major departments. Its main focus areas are fertility treatment, advanced laparoscopic surgery, and urology.

Accreditations and Achievements

The hospital holds ESHRE accreditation. This means it meets international standards for reproductive medicine. Its training division, ReproLearn, is a FOGSI-certified IVF and Infertility Training Institute. Since 2001, the medical team has performed more than 2,000 surgeries.

The hospital has several regional firsts:

• First center in the region to perform PCNL kidney stone surgery.
• Pioneer in ureteric stone surgery (URS) in the region.
• First center in the state to offer Thermachoice Balloon therapy.
• Documented regional firsts for IVF triplets and PESA births.

Fertility and Reproductive Medicine

The reproductology department treats complex female and male infertility. If IVF has failed several times, specialists run detailed evaluations instead of repeating past protocols. The clinic has an advanced embryology lab and offers several treatment options:

• Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
• IVF with ICSI and blastocyst culture
• Day 2, Day 3, and Day 5 embryo transfers
• Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for low ovarian reserve

Dr. Manisha Mehta leads the fertility division and has over 20 years of experience. She trained at Lady Hardinge Medical College in New Delhi. Her practice focuses on high-risk pregnancies and recurrent pregnancy loss.

Urology and Male Infertility

The urology department focuses on kidney stones and surgical sperm retrieval. For obstructive azoospermia (absence of sperm in semen), surgeons perform TESA and PESA. Both are short outpatient procedures under local anesthesia. Most patients return to normal routines within 2–3 days.

Dr. R.K. Mehta leads surgical and urological services with over 25 years of experience. He trained at PGIMS Rohtak and Safdarjung Hospital. His work includes surgery for varicoceles (enlarged scrotal veins) and complex stone removal.

Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

The hospital runs a Center of Excellence for Hysteroscopy and Laparoscopy. Surgeons use small-incision techniques for many gynecologic and general surgical cases. Because the cuts are smaller, recovery is faster than after open surgery.

Minimally invasive procedures include:

• Laparoscopic myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids
• Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH)
• Surgery for endometriosis and ovarian cysts
• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone removal
• Ectopic pregnancy and appendicitis surgery

Surgical Technology

Operating theaters use the Karl Storz EndoVision system for precise visualization. Its three-chip tricam system gives high-resolution images during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. This helps surgeons remove delicate tissue while sparing healthy structures.

International Patient Services

Apex Hospital offers several services for patients traveling from outside the region. Staff speak English and Hindi. Support for international patients includes:

• Video consultations via call or WhatsApp
• Travel and local accommodation assistance
• Language translation services
• Structured training programs for visiting medical students

Online consultations let doctors review your medical history before you travel for treatment.
