Performing ICSI within 4 hours after denudation optimizes clinical outcomes in ICSI cycles

Comparison of clinical outcomes between in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in IVF-ICSI split insemination cycles

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in sibling oocytes. Additionally, we evaluated whether the implementation of split insemination contributed to an increase in the number of ICSI procedures. METHODS A total of 571 cycles in 555 couples undergoing split insemination cycles were included i...

Effect of calcium ionophore on unfertilized oocytes after ICSI cycles

BACKGROUND Fertilization failure is one of the most problems in assisted reproduction technology (ART). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was the evaluation of oocytes activation by addition of calcium ionophore in unfertilized oocytes in ICSI cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was done on 15 ICSI cycles (stimulated with standard long protocol). Mature retrieved oocytes with normal morp...

The Effects of ISM1 Medium on Embryo Quality and Outcomes of IVF/ICSI Cycles

The First Report of Successfully Pregnancy after ICSI with Combined DGC/Zeta Sperm Selection Procedure in a Couple with Eleven Repeated Fail IVF/ICSI Cycles

This is the first report implementing combined density gradient centrifugation/Zeta (DGC/Zeta) sperm selection procedure for a couple with eleven previous intra cytoplasmic sperm injection/ in vitro fertilization (ICSI/IVF) failure cycles. Semen analysis was carried out according to World Health Organization criteria. Protamine deficiency, DNA fragmentation and morphology were assessed by chrom...

Performing ICSI with commercial microinjection pipettes enhanced pregnancy rates.

BACKGROUND/AIM Many technical factors can affect intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes. The role of the injection micropipette could be of vital importance in ICSI programs. The main goal was to compare ICSI pregnancy outcomes between commercial and home-made injection micropipettes in a large population with male factor infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five-hundred and eleven IC...
