Physiological ICSI (PICSI) vs. conventional ICSI in couples with male factor: A systematic review

O-22: Comparison of Conventional IVF versus ICSI in Non-Male Factor, Norm Responder Patients

Background: Conventional IVF and ICSI are two common techniques to achieve fertilization. IVF has long been used for treatment of infertility, although it is not an effective treatment in severe male infertility. The use of ICSI has been expanded in severe male factor and fertilization failure after IVF cycle. In spite of the widespread use of ICSI in patients with non-male factor infertility, ...

I-12: Physiological ICSI

Prior to ICSI the cumulus-oophorous-complex of the oocyte is commonly remove with impure animal-derived hyaluronidase of low strength. The lower strength of the enzyme, the high concentration of impurities and the necessity of extensive time-dependent mechanical denudation damages of the oocytes, increases the risk of lysing the oocytes and the transfer of animal-derived pathogens. All this can...

Comparison of conventional IVF versus ICSI in non-male factor, normoresponder patients

BACKGROUND Conventional IVF and ICSI are two common techniques to achieve fertilization. IVF has long been used for treatment of infertility, although it is not an effective treatment in severe male infertility. The use of ICSI has been expanded in severe male factor and fertilization failure after IVF cycle. In spite of the widespread use of ICSI in patients with non-male factor infertility, t...

Inadvertent transgenesis by conventional ICSI in mice.

BACKGROUND ICSI is a relatively new treatment for human male-related infertility, as well as an efficient method for the production of transgenic animals by injecting into the oocyte sperm previously incubated with foreign DNA. As semen samples collected in human infertility clinics are frequently contaminated with bacteria, one risk associated with the ICSI procedure is the injection of foreig...
