IVF and infertility treatment in Malta 

At Saint James Hospital a Reproductive Unit is available for both male and female patients.

Treatments include invitro fertilisation (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), Testicular Sperm Aspiration/Biopsy (TESA) and Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA). Assisted hatching has now also been succesfully introduced.

PESA and TESA methods are used in an uncommon type of infertility which occurs in the male partner where no sperm is present in the semen (azoospermia).

PESA - a fine needle is inserted into the epdidymis, at the upper area of the testis and sperms are collected by gentle suction.

TESA - a fine needle is inserted into testis and samples of tissue are obtained by gentle suction in order to retrieve sperms. A biopsy may be taken in the eventuality of not enough sperms being retrieved.

ICSI - a highly advanced type of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment where fertilisation is achieved after injecting a single sperm into each egg of the female partner.
