Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine whether advanced sperm retrieval is appropriate in cases of obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermia. DESIGN:Prospective controlled study. SETTING:Tertiary care center. PATIENT(S):Men with obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermia, and their partners. INTERVENTION(S):Surgical sperm retrieval followed by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) after 4 or 48 hours. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Fertilization and pregnancy rates. RESULT(S):Advanced and fresh surgical sperm recoveries for ICSI were performed in 54 and 230 cycles, respectively. Patient demographics and cycle parameters were comparable. Two hundred forty-one (56.3%) of 428 injected eggs in the advanced retrieval group were fertilized, compared with 955 (56.6%) of 1,686 eggs in the fresh retrieved group (P=.94). There was no statistically significant difference in the pregnancy rates per ET between groups: 38.2% (18 of 47) in the advanced retrieval group and 39.9% (73 of 183) in the fresh sperm recovery group (P=.97). CONCLUSION(S):Testicular and epididymal sperm recovery can be safely performed 48 hours before ICSI. This facilitates planning, and, in cases of failure to retrieve sperm, hCG administration and ovum pick-up can be canceled, thereby reducing costs and eliminating the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation.
