Abstract
Objective: To compare the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with fresh and frozen-thawed testicular spermatozoa in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia.Design: single center clinical trial Materials and methods: Forty seven men with nonobstructive azoospermia in whom testicular sperm was found aftert esticular sperm extraction were enrolled (25 cases using fresh biopsy and 22 using frozen –thawed biopsy).Main outcome measure(s): fertilization rate; mean number of embryos transferred per cycle, embryo implantation,clinical pregnancyResult(s): There was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding their background characteristics. There was an improved pregnancy rate with fresh versus cryopreserved testicular (P=0.053). Nosignificant difference regarding other parameters was found.Conclusion: In men with non obstructive azoospermia, fresh sperm extraction may yield better results than frozen biopsy.
