Introduction:
Transient ejaculation failure can be seen on the oocyte retrieval day which might cause the cancelation of oocyte retrieval procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the management of these patients and to assess the clinical outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using spermatozoa obtained from them.
Methods:
The records of the oocyte pick-up (OPU) procedures between November 2014 and January 2017 were reviewed, the management and ICSI outcomes of 26 patients with transient ejaculation failure due to erectile difficulties on the oocyte retrieval day were evaluated.
Results:
Intracavernosal injection (ICI), percutaneous sperm aspiration (PESA) and microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) were performed to 15, 6 and 5 patients, respectively. The sperm retrieval rate (SRR) and live birth rate (LBR) of ICI, PESA and micro-TESE were 26%, 63.6% and 100% and 40%, 16.7%, 38.4% respectively.
Conclusions:
Although a limited number of cases were evaluated in this study, micro-TESE appears to be the preferable approach when assessed both in terms of sperm retrieval method success and ICSI results.
