ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the efficacy of in vitroretrieval of epididymal sperm for the induction of pregnancy in patients with post-testicular causes of infertility, and assess the sperm distribution within the epididymis of these patients. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Analyses of the sperm count and motility of sperm retrieved from the detached epididymis, and of the resulting fertilization and pregnancy outcomes were conducted. A total 62 infertile couples, due to post-testicular male causes, had sperm retrieved from the epididymis. The sperm count and motility, as well as the fertilization and pregnancy rates, were measured.RESULTS:
Epididymal sperm was retrieved from 60 males with post-testicular infertility. The average sperm concentration and motility of the sperm after sperm preparation were 43.0x10(6)/ml and 25%, respectively. The clinical pregnancy rate per cycle was 57.9%(11/19) with in vitro fertilization(IVF), 39.0%(16/41) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI) using fresh epididymal sperm, and 42.9%(27/63) with ICSI using frozen epididymal sperm.CONCLUSIONS:
The in vitro retrieval of epididymal sperm is recommended as a simple and effective method to obtain viable sperm from infertile patients with obstructive azoospermia or sperm excretion disorders.
