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 ...

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...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the safety of cryopreservation in combination with IVF and ICSI, prenatal diagnosis and neonatal outcome were investigated in children conceived from frozen-thawed ICSI embryos (cryo ICSI) and frozen-thawed IVF embryos (cryo IVF). Data were also compared with earlier published results from fresh ICSI and IVF embryos. METHODS Questionnaire data and results of physical ex...

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...

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 present study aims to compare which one has a better obstetric and perinatal outcome in singleton pregnancy, frozen embryo transfer (FET) or. in vitro fertilization treatment/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI)? METHODS MEDLINE, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library were searched for the obstetric and perinatal outcomes in singleton pregnancy after assisted reproducti...

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...

BACKGROUND An increased risk of major congenital abnormalities after IVF and ICSI has been described, but underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study evaluates the effects of ovarian hyperstimulation, the in vitro procedure and time to pregnancy (TTP) - as proxy for the severity of subfertility - on the prevalence of dysmorphic features. DESIGN/METHODS Participants were singletons born foll...
