  • A need for candid self-assessment regarding treatment capabilities and limitations is emphasized.
  • Conclusions:

    • Clinicians should critically evaluate the necessity and benefit of procedures for infertile couples.
    • The guiding principle for intervention should be "Is this procedure really in the patient's best interest?"
