background: endometriosis is one of the most challenging diseases that constitute 20% - 40% of women searching for their infertility diagnosis. objective: this study was undertaken in order to compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ivf/icsi) in women with endometriosis, and tubal factor infertility as controls. materials and methods: from 2005 to 2006 a ...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the incidence of azf (azoospermia factor) microdeletions of the y chromosome in infertile turkish male patients and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) outcome of these patients. objective: this study was undertaken in order to evaluate the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) in infertil man with azf microdeletions materials ...

Background The aim of this study was to compare prenatal outcome of intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) pregnancies with pregnancies obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF). MaterialsAndMethods Retrospectively 532 pregnancies of ART cycles were assessed during 1999-2000. The main outcome measured including abortions, ectopic pregnancies, prematurity, low birth weight, cesarean sectio...

background: the latest studies reported that local endometrial injury is a useful method to improve the success of ivf-icsi outcome. objective: to assess whether local endometrial injury occurred by pipelle in the spontaneous cycle could improve implantation rate, cleavage rate, and pregnancy outcome in the subsequent ivf-icsi cycle in patients who had recurrent ivf failure. materials and metho...

Purpose Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has a role as “physiologic selector” for spermatozoa prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The objective of this study is to analyze the results achievable by the introduction of a routine HA-ICSI programme. Methods We retrospectively observed 293 couples treated with HA-ICSI versus 86 couples treated with conventional PVP-ICSI (historical control group)...

OBJECTIVE To verify whether microinjection into retrieved oocytes of motile spermatozoa with morphologically normal nuclei, strictly defined by high power light microscopy (x >6000), improves the IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) pregnancy rate in couples with repeated ICSI failures. DESIGN Comparative prospective study testing routine IVF/ICSI outcome parameters against those of mo...

During the last decades, many studies have shown the possible influence of sperm DNA fragmentation on assisted reproductive technique outcomes. However, little is known about the impact of sperm DNA fragmentation on the clinical outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) from cycles of conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). In the present stu...

objectives: freezing and in vitro culture of testicular spermatozoa or tissue are reliable approaches for the management of azoospermic patients and could all for the possibility of multiple ivf-icsi procedures. however, the effect of cryopreservation duration on pregnancy outcome had been not fully examined. to analyze pregnancy outcome in patients underwent icsi procedure in relation to durat...

background:   objective: we evaluated the icsi outcome in our program for (htlv-1) serodiscordant couples (sdcs) with the female infected in comparison with control group.   materials and methods: this study was performed between 2007 and 2011 in novin infertility treatment center (mashhad, iran). we examined 32 icsi cycles of htlv-1 infected women in comparison with an age matched control grou...

SETTING Academic nonprofit IVF center. PATIENT(S) Couples undergoing IVF/ICSI. INTERVENTION(S) In vitro fertilization and ICSI. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Samples were evaluated for total sperm count, motlity, progressi...
