About the clinic

Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) at Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic in Famagusta, Northern Cyprus, provides a path to biological fatherhood for men with severe infertility. This surgical procedure retrieves sperm directly from the testicles when none are present in the ejaculate. The clinic holds ISO certification and recognition from the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE).

Advanced Sperm Retrieval Methods

The medical team uses TESE to collect sperm from men with azoospermia. This condition means no sperm appears in the semen due to blockages or production issues. During the procedure, a surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum. They remove a tiny piece of testicular tissue to find viable sperm cells. For patients with obstructive azoospermia, the clinic may use testicular sperm aspiration (TESA). This method uses a needle puncture instead of an incision. Doctors perform these procedures under local or general anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable.

Expert Embryology and Clinical Care

The lab process is managed by Dr. Ali Kızılkanat, the lead embryologist. He has over 25 years of experience in assisted reproduction. Dr. Ali Kızılkanat was the first officially certified embryologist in Northern Cyprus. The clinical side is led by Dr. Erman Sever, who serves as the Medical Director. Dr. Sever received his IVF certification from the Istanbul American Hospital and trained at Hacettepe University. Together, they manage the delicate task of isolating sperm from tissue samples.

Who Should Consider TESE

This procedure helps men who face specific reproductive challenges. You might be a candidate if you have:

Azoospermia, where no sperm is found in the ejaculate.
Sperm duct obstructions that prevent sperm from exiting the body.
Low sperm production caused by hormonal or genetic factors.
No frozen samples available from previous treatments.

Treatment Benefits and Next Steps

Once sperm cells are retrieved, they are used immediately for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The lab can also cryopreserve the sperm for future IVF cycles. This flexibility helps couples plan their fertility journey more effectively. The clinic supports international patients with travel and accommodation help. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your case with the specialists in Famagusta.

Reproductology and Assisted Reproduction

Dr. Erman Sever, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, leads the medical team. Ali Kızılkanat heads the embryology laboratory. He has over 25 years of experience in assisted reproduction.

The team offers several fertilization and retrieval methods:

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
Cytoplasmic transfer to improve embryo implantation potential
Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) for obstructive azoospermia
Surgical testicular sperm extraction (TESE)
Embryo transfer on Day 3 or Day 5

Fertility preservation is available through egg freezing using vitrification. This rapid freezing technique prevents ice crystal formation. Patients may also choose embryo cryopreservation for future family planning.

Advanced Genetics and Diagnostics

Fertina IVF uses advanced screening to support embryo selection. This helps patients with recurrent miscarriage or advanced maternal age. Genetic services include:

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for embryo assessment
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to identify chromosomal abnormalities
Sperm DNA fragmentation evaluation
Hysteroscopy to examine the uterine cavity

Specialists use NGS platforms like Illumina to analyze sequencing libraries. These tools identify genetic variants before embryo transfer.

Obstetrics and Gynecological Care

The clinic supports patients beyond early pregnancy stages. The Women's Health Department manages vaginal deliveries and Cesarean sections. Dr. Erman Sever oversees these services after completing his residency at Kocaeli University Hospital. Diagnostic laparoscopy is available to examine and remove ovarian cysts.

International Patient Services

A coordination team manages international patient needs. The clinic assigns each patient a single International Patient Coordinator. Support is available in several languages:

English and French
Arabic and Turkish
Russian and Albanian

Patients can access online consultations to review their medical history before traveling. The clinic helps with accommodation bookings and airport transfers from Ercan and Larnaca airports. After treatment, the team provides 24/7 support and specific guidance for the first 48 hours following embryo transfer.

After a long journey and a lot of hope, we are incredibly happy to say that thanks to this clinic, we are now the proud parents of a healthy and beautiful baby. From the very first contact, the entire team was professional, caring, and supportive. Throughout the whole fertility treatment process, they were always available to answer our questions and guide us every step of the way. Their level of care and attention was truly exceptional. What impressed us the most was that their support did not end when we left Cyprus and returned to Spain. They remained in constant contact, responding quickly to every message and providing reassurance whenever we needed it. My wife always felt cared for and supported, no matter the distance. The medical care, organization, communication, and human warmth were all outstanding. They made what can be a very emotional and stressful journey feel much easier and more hopeful. Today, our baby has been born healthy, everything went perfectly, and we could not be more grateful. We wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to any couple considering fertility treatment. They have changed our lives, and we will always be thankful for their dedication, kindness, and professionalism. ★★★★★ 5/5 – Simply exceptional.

We met Dr. Erman Sever, our teacher, just when we had been striving for years, getting negative results again and again, and were about to lose all hope. We are so glad we met him. First by Allah’s permission, and then thanks to him and his team, we reached our dream. With a friendly, highly empathetic, and confidence-giving approach, he supported us at every stage of the process—without tiring me physically or emotionally—and we are truly grateful for being by our side. We were very pleased that the clinic is clean and easy to reach. We would like to thank Dr. Erman Sever, Mr. Ünsal Bey, and all the clinic staff for their support, attentiveness, and warm smiles. We achieved our dream. While our little miracle sleeps beside us, we send them a whole hug full of love.
