Abstract:
For men presenting azoospermia, the development of ICSI with epidydimal (MESA) or testicular (TESE) sperm, allowed them to father their own progeny. Little is known about the issue of these ICSI, in terms of efficiency and quality of the conceptus, and many controversies remain. Some studies emphasized that children born after Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) with surgically sperm retrieved were at increased risk of birth defects. In this context, we proposed a retrospective analysis of pregnancy issues with non-ejaculated sperm.
