Some structural causes of infertility can be treated surgically, typically as outpatient or same-day treatments. Men may undergo tissue biopsies, varicocele treatment, vasectomy reversal, sperm duct opening, or direct sperm extraction from the testicles or ducts.

Surgical treatments for male infertility in the US include varicocele repair, vasectomy reversal, and TESE (testicular sperm extraction). These procedures aim to improve semen quality and increase the chances of natural conception or IVF.
Advanced technologies like ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) may be used in conjunction with these treatments. Success rates vary depending on the underlying cause of infertility.
