A simple, non-invasive method to retrieve spermatozoa from patients with anejaculation is described. Three patients with psychogenic primary anejaculation were referred for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). On the day of oocyte retrieval, vigorous prostatic massage was done. Examination of the expressed prostatic secretion revealed a sufficient number of motile spermatozoa in cases 1 and 3. In case 1, only one poor quality oocyte was obtained and ICSI was unsuccessful. Spermatozoa were cryopreserved for future use. In case 2, no spermatozoa were retrieved by prostatic massage. A testicular biopsy was performed to retrieve spermatozoa for ICSI. Unfortunately no pregnancy resulted. In case 3, retrieved spermatozoa were successfully used for ICSI, and 19 ova were injected. Fertilization occurred in 10 of these; seven were cryopreserved and three embryos were transferred. Ultrasound scan has confirmed a singleton pregnancy, which is ongoing. We conclude that vigorous prostatic massage could be an effective method of sperm retrieval for assisted conception in selected patients with anejaculation. 相似文献

A clinical pregnancy occurred in a 26-year-old patient after transfer of
frozen-thawed embryos had been achieved by intracytoplasmic sperm injection
(ICSI) of cryopreserved spermatozoa. These had been obtained from a testis
removed due to seminoma. The couple applied to our fertility clinic for
sperm cryopreservation before orchidectomy and radiotherapy. Unfortunately
the husband was found to be azoospermic upon admission and sperm cells were
extracted from the removed testis for use in our ICSI programme. This case
represents a new aetiology for obstructive azoospermia that was
successfully treated by ICSI. A pregnancy was established, resulting in
successful birth.

The objective of this study was to examine different clinical scenarios of in-vitro conception, viz. fertilization with conventional IVF, IVF with high insemination concentration (HIC) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and assess on a sibling oocyte comparison the hypothesis that ICSI should be performed in all cases requiring in-vitro conception. ICSI with husband's spermatozoa had a higher incidence of fertilization as compared with IVF or IVF with HIC with donor spermatozoa (if previous failure of fertilization had occurred) for unexplained infertility. Similarly, ICSI with husband's spermatozoa had as high an incidence of fertilization as IVF with donor spermatozoa for patients with severe oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia and/or teratozoospermia, even when the spermatozoa were not selected for their morphology. Two studies were performed to assess ICSI in potential oocyte-related failure of IVF, viz. when fertilization occurred in >50% of oocytes for one group of patients, and in <50% of oocytes in a second group. In both of these studies a significant proportion of the oocytes that failed to fertilize with conventional IVF eventually fertilized after ICSI. The overall conclusion was that ICSI as a first option offers a higher incidence of fertilization, maximizes the number of embryos and minimizes the risk of complete failure of fertilization for all cases requiring in-vitro conception. However, among other concerns, current knowledge of ICSI as an outcome procedure does not provide the confidence to use this process in all cases of IVF for the time being. 相似文献

The use of a modified hypo-osmotic swelling test for the selection of viable ejaculated and testicular immotile spermatozoa in ICSI 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A modified hypo-osmotic solution was used to select viable ejaculated and testicular spermatozoa to perform intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in 27 treatment cycles from patients with total absence of sperm motility. The treatment cycles consisted of 15 cycles in which ejaculated spermatozoa were used and 12 cycles in which testicular spermatozoa were used. The hypo-osmotic solution consisted of 50% culture medium and 50% deionized water and was shown in previous in-vitro studies to be superior to the original solution used in the classical hypo-osmotic swelling test. Fertilization was achieved in 37.3% of the oocytes injected. Embryos were replaced in 70.4% of the cycles with a mean of 2.0 embryos per cycle. There were no statistically significant differences between the ejaculated sperm group and the testicular sperm group in the fertilization rate (42.7 versus 30.1%) or in the cleavage rate (92.7 versus 77.3%). Four pregnancies resulted, two in the ejaculated sperm group and two in the testicular sperm group, a pregnancy rate of 14.8%. All pregnancies were singletons but one pregnancy in each group had an early miscarriage. There were no statistically significant differences between both groups in the pregnancy rates (13.3 versus 16.7%), in the implantation rates (5.3 versus 11.8%) or in the delivery/ongoing pregnancy rates (6.7 versus 8.3%). It is concluded that the use of this solution to select viable but immotile spermatozoa for ICSI is a simple and practical method and is associated with acceptable fertilization and pregnancy rates. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Recently, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of testicular spermatozoa retrieved surgically from patients with non-mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome resulted in several deliveries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of ICSI using fresh and cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Following informed consent regarding the genetic risks of their potential offspring, mature testicular spermatozoa were found in five out of 12 (42%) patients who underwent testicular sperm extraction, and ICSI was performed while excess tissue was cryopreserved. The mean age of the patients was 28.7 +/- 3.6 (range 23-36 years). Their baseline FSH was elevated (mean 38.3 +/- 11.4; range 22-58 mIU/ml). All patients had small testicles of 2-4 ml in volume. The outcome of ICSI using fresh or cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa during five cycles in each group, was compared. No statistical significant difference was found in the two pronuclear fertilization rate (66 versus 58%), embryo cleavage rate (98 versus 90%) and embryo implantation rate (33.3 versus 21.4%) for fresh or cryopreserved sperm accordingly. The clinical outcome after using fresh testicular sperm included two singleton pregnancies (one delivered and one ongoing) and a triplet pregnancy resulting in a twin delivery (after reduction of an 47,XXY embryo). After using cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa, two pregnancies were obtained resulting in one delivery of twins and one early spontaneous abortion. CONCLUSIONS: Outcome of ICSI using cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa of patients with non-mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome is comparable with that following the use of fresh spermatozoa. The genetic implications for the future offspring should be explained to the patients. 相似文献

We report two cases of infertility treatment in couples where males suffered from Kartagener's syndrome (KS) and a total absence of motile sperm in the ejaculate. A total of three ICSI cycles was carried out. In all cycles, viable ejaculated or testicular spermatozoa were selected using the hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test. Case 1: In the first ICSI cycle total fertilization failure occurred after using ejaculated spermatozoa. In the following cycle testicular spermatozoa were used for ICSI, resulting in 75% fertilized oocytes and a pregnancy. Case 2: In the same ICSI cycle 50% of the oocytes were injected with ejaculated and 50% with testicular spermatozoa. The fertilization rates were 44 and 56% respectively and high quality embryos were achieved in both groups. One single embryo derived from testicular sperm was transferred with a resulting singleton pregnancy. In conclusion, testicular sperm for ICSI seem to have reliable fertilization capacity in men with KS, while ejaculated sperm, even if tested viable, seem more unpredictable. HOS test for selection of viable sperm for ICSI is recommended when ejaculated as well as testicular sperm are used for ICSI. 相似文献

Assisted reproduction for infertile patients with 9 + 0 immotile spermatozoa associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We investigated the clinical feature of patients with totally immotile spermatozoa due to 9 + 0 ultrastructural flagellar defects and polycystic kidney disease. We also tried to establish the feasibility of applying modern assisted reproduction technology (ART) in these patients. During 6-year interval a total of 1956 Japanese men were referred to the male infertility clinic. Of them, 16 were diagnosed to have immotile spermatozoa and four of them exhibited axonemal 9 + 0 defects in the sperm flagella. These four also had autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Intrauterine insemination (IUI) and conventional in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer failed to achieve fertilization. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with 100% immotile spermatozoa was performed in all four cases. Two-pronuclear fertilization was obtained in 27 of the 70 (38.6%) of the successfully injected oocytes, but no pregnancy resulted. In one case, a few motile spermatozoa were present at the second cycle of ICSI, a pregnancy was successfully achieved using these spermatozoa. While immotile spermatozoa from patients with the axonemal 9 + 0 defect achieved fertilization by ICSI, the embryos failed to develop. Our results indicate that the central microtubules may play a role in fetal development. Since the 4 patients with 9 + 0 defects also had ADPKD, the genetic linkage between these two conditions should be studied by molecular biological methods so as to aid our ability to counsel such patients. 相似文献

Recovery of motile spermatozoa from extremely low quality samples for use
in the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure is difficult. To
solve this problem we developed a simple method to recover the motile
spermatozoa using a 3% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) droplet. After depositing
a sperm pellet into this slightly viscous droplet, motile spermatozoa
readily swam out to the clear area while immotile spermatozoa dispersed to
a lesser extent, so that motile and immotile cells became clearly separated
from each other. A total of 36 ICSI cycles using spermatozoa with extremely
low quality characteristics were performed. We recovered the motile
spermatozoa from all sperm samples from two sources of poor quality
spermatozoa. Thirty-one cycles of ICSI with ejaculate resulted in
fertilization and pregnancy rates of 54 and 29% respectively. Five cycles
of ICSI with frozen-thawed epididymal spermatozoa resulted in fertilization
and pregnancy rates of 70 and 60% respectively. The 3% PVP droplet method
is very simple and easy to perform, so it may be useful for recovering the
motile spermatozoa from extremely low quality sperm samples used for ICSI.

The recovery of immature oocytes from unstimulated ovaries followed by in-vitro maturation (IVM) is an attractive alternative to conventional IVF in the treatment of female infertility. Similarly, surgical recovery of spermatozoa from the epididymis by percutaneous sperm aspiration (PESA) has simplified the retrieval of the male gamete in treatment of men with obstructive azoospermia. We report the first ongoing clinical twin pregnancy resulting from intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of spermatozoa retrieved by PESA into IVM oocytes. In the treatment of a 24-year old woman, 12 immature oocytes were retrieved. Six oocytes matured (maturation rate 50%) after 24-hour incubation and were inseminated by ICSI. Four oocytes had two pronuclei (fertilization rate 67%) and 3 good quality embryos were transferred. A viable twin pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound scan. This report illustrates the use of a combination of less invasive assisted reproductive techniques in overcoming barriers to infertility. 相似文献

We report here the first case of successful pregnancy and delivery after the blastocyst transfer of twice-vitrified embryos produced following in vitro maturation (IVM) and ICSI. The patient received 5000 IU hCG on day 12 of the treatment cycle, and oocyte retrieval was carried out 36 h after hCG injection. A total of 22 immature oocytes were obtained. Following incubation for 26 h in IVM medium, 15 oocytes (68.2%) reached metaphase II stage. In total, 13 oocytes (86.7%) were fertilized after ICSI with the husband's sperm, and 11 embryos at the pronuclear stage and two cleaved embryos on day 2 were vitrified because of thin endometrial thickness. Eight cryopreserved embryos at the pronuclear stage were warmed and cultured until the day 3 stage. Three embryos were transferred, and three embryos were twice vitrified. Unfortunately, these transferred embryos did not implant. Three twice-vitrified embryos were rewarmed and cultured until the day 5 stage, and two embryos were transferred. The second transfer attempt of twice-vitrified embryos resulted in the full-term delivery of a healthy infant. This case report demonstrates that twice-vitrified embryos, developed using an IVM protocol, retain the developmental competence for full-term, healthy infants. 相似文献

This paper describes our experience with four ovarian stimulation in- vitro
fertilization (IVF) cycles in which we failed to retrieve oocytes despite
normal bioavailability of beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-HCG) in
patients' blood 35 h after HCG administration. In three cases, the oocyte
recovery procedure was interrupted, a second dose of HCG was administered
and 24 h later mature oocytes were collected from two of the patients. In
the first case, the three metaphase II oocytes collected fertilized after
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and two cleaved grade three embryos
were transferred but pregnancy did not ensue. In the second case, six out
of eight metaphase II oocytes fertilized and cleaved following ICSI,
leading to transfer of one grade two and two grade three embryos. This
resulted in a clinical pregnancy which at the time of this report is
ongoing. A similar rescue protocol was used for the third case who had
empty follicle syndrome (EFS) in her previous treatment cycle but only
cumulus-corona complexes were aspirated. Five additional patients who had
EFS before instituting pregnancy diagnostic test screening have had further
treatment cycles in which oocytes were collected but pregnancy did not
ensue. We conclude that normal bioavailability of beta-HCG on the day of
oocyte recovery does not exclude the diagnosis of EFS. EFS does not predict
a reduced fertility potential in future cycles, although it may recur due
to a biological abnormality in the availability of mature oocytes that are
retrievable. In such patients, oocyte donation may offer the chance of
achieving a pregnancy.

Cases with absolute immotile sperm syndrome are rare, and include the
genetic defect of immotile cilia syndrome with the absence of dynein arms
in the flagellum. We attempted to increase the percentage of viable
spermatozoa to improve the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection
(ICSI). Three couples in whom repeated analysis of the male partners
indicated 100% sperm immotility underwent an in-vitro fertilization (IVF)
procedure in which ICSI was performed. On their first ICSI cycle the males
produced a single ejaculation while in their successive ICSI cycles they
were requested to repeatedly ejaculate (two to four times) and only the
last ejaculation was used. The eosin-Y test was performed on each used
sample. Following their first treatment, one couple had one repeated
treatment cycle, another had two and the third couple had three repeated
treatment cycles. The mean percentages of viable spermatozoa were 41+/-7.4
and 71+/-6.9% in the first and repeated cycles respectively (P < 0.01;
t-test). Of the 39 oocytes injected in the first ICSI cycles only one (3%)
was normally fertilized (2PN) compared with 41 (48%) of the 85 oocytes
injected in the repeated ICSI cycles. One (3%) embryo in the first and 35
(41%) embryos in the repeated ICSI cycles respectively were obtained (P
< 0.001), enabling their replacement into the uterine cavity in all the
repeated cycles. One woman (in a repeated cycle) conceived a twin pregnancy
and delivered two healthy babies. The use of spermatozoa from repeated
ejaculation is recommended in men with absolutely immotile spermatozoa so
as to obtain significantly better viability and fertilizing capacity.

The microinjection of completely immotile spermatozoa may impair the
outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Eleven couples
underwent an initial ICSI cycle with 100% immotile freshly ejaculated
spermatozoa. Two-pronuclear fertilization ensued in 18 of 145 (12.4%)
successfully injected oocytes. None of these cycles resulted in a
pregnancy. Nine couples underwent ICSI in subsequent cycles (n = 16).
Ejaculated spermatozoa were injected in 15 cycles and testicular
spermatozoa in one cycle. In 10 of the 15 cycles, motile spermatozoa were
available at the time of injection. Motile testicular spermatozoa could
also be injected. In the subsequent cycles, 91 of 176 (51.7%) successfully
injected oocytes fertilized normally and four patients became pregnant. In
the subsequent cycles where again immotile spermatozoa had to be injected
no pregnancies occurred. In four subsequent cycles embryo cryopreservation
was carried out. After replacement of two frozen-thawed embryos one
additional pregnancy was obtained. In all, five healthy infants were born.
It has been ascertained that motile spermatozoa can be detected either in
repeated ejaculates or after testicular biopsy. The causes of total
asthenozoospermia are variable and the problem is a sporadic rather than a
permanent condition.

This case report describes a couple suffering from infertility secondary to
psychogenic anejaculation, which was refractory to all conservative
treatment modalities. A first trial of microsurgical vas aspiration in
combination with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) resulted in a pregnancy.
After 2 years, three more trials of microsurgical vas aspiration in
combination with either IVF or subzonal insemination (SUZI) resulted in
embryo transfer without pregnancy. Finally, after 3 years, spermatozoa
obtained by rectal probe stimulation under general anaesthesia were
cryopreserved. A second intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure
using these cryopreserved spermatozoa also resulted in a second pregnancy.
Although sperm concentration was in the normal range, in all samples
obtained by either rectal probe electrostimulation or microsurgical vas
aspiration, motility was <30% in all but two samples.

In-vitro fertilization treatment for severe male factor: the fertilization potential of immotile spermatozoa obtained by testicular extraction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Shulman A Feldman B Madgar I Levron J Mashiach S Dor J 《Human reproduction (Oxford, England)》1999,14(3):749-752
A retrospective analysis in 50 couples of 53 cycles of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with immotile spermatozoa from testicular-retrieved spermatozoa was performed to evaluate whether total immotile spermatozoa achieved after testicular sperm extraction could fertilize ova and result in pregnancies. We assessed the efficacy of ICSI with totally immotile testicular spermatozoa extracted from the testes of azoospermic patients with severe spermatogenic failure (group 1) and compared these results with those from spermatozoa which were recovered after several hours of incubation and were motile (group 2) at the time of injection. In 19 cycles, only totally immotile spermatozoa were injected at the time of ICSI. For the remaining 34 cycles, at least one motile spermatozoon was found for injection. The oocyte fertilization rates were 51% for group 1 and 62% for group 2 (P < 0.02). Eighteen of 19 cycles in group 1 (90%) and all 34 (100%) cycles in group 2 had embryos for replacement. The mean number of embryos per cycle was 5.2 +/- 0.8 and 7.5 +/- 0.9 in groups 1 and 2 respectively; this and the embryo quality (cumulative embryo scoring = 40 +/- 8 for group 1 and 50 +/- 7 for group 2), and clinical pregnancy rates (15.8% per oocyte retrieval in group 1 and 23.5% in group 2) were not significantly different between groups. Fertilization, cleavage and pregnancy can be achieved with intracytoplasmic testicular sperm injection from patients with immotile spermatozoa, at levels comparable with those of ICSI using motile spermatozoa. 相似文献

The efficiency of testicular sperm retrieval by testicular fine needle
aspiration (TEFNA) was compared with open biopsy and testicular sperm
extraction (TESE), in 37 rigorously selected patients with non- obstructive
azoospermia. All patients underwent TEFNA and TESE consecutively. Thus,
each patient served as his own control. The case was regarded as successful
if at least one testicular spermatozoon was found allowing intracytoplasmic
sperm injection (ICSI) of at least one oocyte. The mean age of the male
patients was 32.7 years (range 24-47). Whereas by TEFNA spermatozoa
enabling performance of ICSI were found in only four patients out of 37
(11%), open biopsy and TESE yielded spermatozoa in 16 cases (43%). The
negative predictive value of high serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
concentrations (> or =10 IU/l) (predicting failure to find spermatozoa
for ICSI) was low (38.4%). The positive predictive value (predicting the
chance to find spermatozoa for ICSI) of normal-sized testicle was not
different from that of small- sized (<15 ml) testicle (50%).
Complications included one case of testicular bleeding following fine
needle aspiration, treated locally, and two cases of extratunical
haematomata following TESE requiring no intervention. In patients with
non-obstructive azoospermia, TEFNA has a significantly lower yield compared
to TESE. Performance of ICSI with testicular sperm in these cases resulted
in satisfactory fertilization and high embryo transfer rates. The
implantation and pregnancy rates per embryo transfer were 13 and 29%
respectively. Neither serum FSH values nor testicular size were predictive
of the chances to find spermatozoa for ICSI. Some complications may occur
even following TEFNA.

BACKGROUND: Most studies examining the use of ICSI for cases of elevated sperm DNA fragmentation report poor pregnancy and implantation rates. ICSI with testicular sperm samples has recently been suggested for these cases. Here we test a less invasive approach based on oral antioxidant treatment prior to ICSI with ejaculated spermatozoa. METHODS: Thirty-eight men with an elevated (> or =15%) percentage of DNA-fragmented spermatozoa in the ejaculate were treated with antioxidants (1 g vitamin C and 1 g vitamin E daily) for 2 months after one failed ICSI attempt. In 29 (76%) of these cases this treatment led to a decrease in the percentage of DNA-fragmented spermatozoa, and a second ICSI attempt was performed. Outcomes of the two attempts were compared. RESULTS: No differences in fertilization and cleavage rates or in embryo morphology were found between the ICSI attempts performed before and after the antioxidant treatment. However, a marked improvement of clinical pregnancy (48.2% versus 6.9%) and implantation (19.6% versus 2.2%) rates was observed after the antioxidant treatment as compared with the pretreatment ICSI outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Oral antioxidant treatment appears to improve ICSI outcomes in those patiens with sperm DNA damage, in whom this treatment reduces the percentage of damaged spermatozoa. 相似文献

Sometimes spermatozoa from ejaculate, epididymis or testis showa total absence of motility. For some patients, however, veryfew spermatozoa with very poor motility can be found after severalhours of incubation (initially immotile spermatozoa). Othersamples show no motility at all even after extended culture(totally immotile spermatozoa). Intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI) is the only method available to select and retrieve asingle immotile or initially immotile spermatozoon and injectit into the oocyte. A total of 103 patients with asthenozoospermiaunderwent ICSI in this study. It was shown that initially immotileand totally immotile spermatozoa, whatever their origin, havethe capacity to fertilize an oocyte after ICSI. No significantdifference could be observed between the fertilizing capacityof testicular or epididymal spermatozoa. Totally immotile ejaculatedspermatozoa, however, fertilized significantly fewer oocytesafter ICSI when compared with initially immotile ejaculatedspermatozoa. Embryos of lower quality tended to be producedwhen totally immotile spermatozoa of any origin were used, comparedwith embryos resulting from initially immotile spermatozoa.Ongoing pregnancies were conceived after ICSI with initiallyimmotile spermatozoa from any origin and totally immotile spermatozoaretrieved from testis only. One biochemical pregnancy was theresult of embryo transfer after ICSI with totally immotile ejaculatedspermatozoa. No supernumerary embryos could be cryo-preservedfor patients with totally immotile spermatozoa from ejaculateor epididymis. For a Kartagener patient, subzonal insemination(SUZI) seemed to be a better approach for obtaining fertilizationand pregnancy than ICSI because no fertilization occurred afterICSI on sibling oocytes. Hence a healthy pregnancy was obtainedafter SUZI. 相似文献

Male genital tract obstructions may result from infections, previous
inguinal and scrotal surgery (vasectomy) and congenital bilateral absence
of the vas deferens (CBAVD). Microsurgery can sometimes be successful in
treating the obstruction. In other cases and in cases of failed surgical
intervention, the patient can be treated by microsurgical or percutaneous
epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA, PESA) or testicular sperm extraction
(TESE) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). We present the results
of 39 ICSI procedures for obstructive azoospermia in 24 couples. The
aetiology of the obstruction was failed microsurgery in 11 patients, CBAVD
in nine and genital infections in four. Sperm retrieval was accomplished
via MESA in four cases, PESA in 18 cases and via TESE in 11 cases. TESE was
only applied when PESA failed to produce enough spermatozoa for
simultaneous ICSI. In six patients, the ICSI procedure was performed with
cryopreserved spermatozoa after an initial PESA procedure. Fertilization
occurred in 47% of the metaphase II oocytes; embryo transfer was performed
in 92% of procedures and resulted in a clinical pregnancy in 13/39
procedures. Ongoing pregnancy was achieved in 10/39 procedures. One
pregnancy was terminated early after prenatal investigation showed a
cytogenetic abnormality (47,XX+18, Edwards syndrome). The other nine
pregnancies resulted in the live birth of 10 children, without any
congenital abnormalities. Epididymal and testicular retrieved spermatozoa
were successfully used for ICSI to treat obstructive azoospermia, and
resulted in an ongoing pregnancy in 10 of 24 couples (41.6%) after 39 ICSI
procedures, a success rate of 25.6% per treatment cycle and of 27.7% per
embryo transfer.

Studies of percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Four distinct studies were carried out using two data sets ofpercutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) and intracytoplasmicsperm injection (ICSI) procedures performed from March 1993to January 1997. In study A, an analysis of 181 ICSI treatmentcycles following PESA revealed a successful epididymal spermretrieval rate of 83%. It confirmed that PESA is an effectivesperm retrieval method and the associated ICSI pregnancy rate(35% per embryo transfer) compared favourably with that of othersperm retrieval methods. In study B, the relevance of a priordiagnostic PESA procedure was ascertained by comparing the spermretrieval rates in two groups of patients having their firstICSI treatment cycle with spermatozoa retrieved through PESA.Group B1 (n=50) had diagnostic PESA prior to the ICSI treatmentcycle PESA procedure, unlike patients in group B2 (n=64) whodid not. The sperm retrieval rate in the treatment cycle procedurewas not different at 90 and 82.8% for groups B1 and B2 respectively.However, the discontinuation of diagnostic PESA is fraught withproblems including liability to medico-legal sanctions. In studyC, analysis of 177 treatment cycles involving PESA and ICSIrevealed a successful sperm retrieval rate by PESA of 82% inthe first cycle, 93% in the second, 96% in the third and 100%in the fourth cycle. The same trend was evident when sperm retrievalwas examined in relation to each of the epididymides. Retrievedspermatozoa were found to be motile in 67-100% of cases andthe frequency of samples containing motile spermatozoa did notdecrease with increase in the number of PESA attempts. Theseresults show that PESA does not jeopardize future epididymalsperm retrieval. In study D, the outcome of treatment with ICSIusing ejaculated spermatozoa (305 cycles) (group D1) was comparedwith that of ICSI using spermatozoa obtained through PESA (54cycles) (group D2). The median age of women in the two groupsof couples was similar (34 years). In group D1, 70% of metaphaseII oocytes were fertilized compared with 61% in group D2 (P<0.01).The cleavage rate and the median numbers of transferred andcryopreserved embryos were similar in both groups. There wasno significant difference between the clinical pregnancy rates(33 and 42% in groups D1 and D2 respectively). Our results showthat the outcome of PESA-ICSI treatment compared favourablywith that of ICSI using ejaculated spermatozoa. 相似文献
