R-075. Fallopian sperm perfusion: a substitute for standard IUI?

A randomized controlled trial of fallopian tube sperm perfusion compared with standard intrauterine insemination for women with non-tubal infertility.

STUDY QUESTION Does fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP) result in better pregnancy and live birth rates than standard intrauterine insemination (SIUI) for couples with non-tubal infertility with or without gonadotrophin or clomiphene stimulation? SUMMARY ANSWER There was no evidence of an improvement in live birth rates with FSP compared with SIUI. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Previous randomized...

Questioning the efficacy of Fallopian tube sperm perfusion.

The aim of this work was to compare the efficiency of standard intrauterine insemination (IUI) and Fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP) in the treatment of infertility. Ninety-six consecutive patients with infertility in 100 cycles were included in the study. Those randomized to standard IUI included 48 patients in 50 cycles [25 clomiphene citrate only and 25 clomiphene citrate/human menopausal...

Is the fallopian tube better than the uterus? Evidence on intrauterine insemination versus fallopian sperm perfusion

Fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP) is in short comprised of mild ovarian stimulation with the aim of maturing 2 follicles, ovulation induction and insemination using a large volume (4 ml) of inseminate. Perfusion studies demonstrated that with this large volume, the inseminate will fill the uterine cavity, flow through the fallopian tubes and some of it will end up in the peritoneal space. Th...

The comparison between Intrauterine Insemination and Fallopian Tube Sperm Perfusion Using FAST

A simple method for fallopian tube sperm perfusion using a blocking device in the treatment of unexplained infertility.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of fallopian sperm perfusion (FSP) using a new method similar to the FAST system in comparison with standard intrauterine insemination (IUI) in patients with unexplained infertility. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled study. SETTING Assisted conception service in a University Hospital. PATIENT(S) Women with unexplained infertility undergoing cont...
