Repeat intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can achieve fertilization and pregnancy in cases of initial complete fertilization failure. This study shows repeat ICSI offers a viable option for couples facing such infertility challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Infertility treatments
  • Assisted reproductive technology

Background:

  • Complete fertilization failure during initial intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) presents a significant challenge in assisted reproduction.
  • Understanding the potential for successful outcomes with repeat ICSI is crucial for patient counseling and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of repeat intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) following complete fertilization failure in a previous ICSI cycle.
  • To identify factors influencing success rates and report pregnancy outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of medical records from couples undergoing repeat ICSI after initial complete fertilization failure.
  • Data collection included patient demographics, infertility causes, sperm source, and ICSI outcomes.

  • Focus on cases from December 1994 to December 2000 at Soliman Fakeeh Hospital.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 782 oocytes from 146 women with initial fertilization failure, repeat ICSI resulted in fertilization of 151 oocytes (19.3%).
    • 125 oocytes cleaved, leading to the transfer of 122 embryos in 71 women.
    • One successful pregnancy and delivery of a healthy baby were achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Repeat intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can lead to successful fertilization and pregnancy even after complete failure in the initial attempt.
    • Further research, including clinical and cytogenetic studies, is warranted to optimize repeat ICSI protocols and outcomes.
