> Not suggesting it in this case, but has anyone personally had > success (babies) with testicular sperm aspiration coupled to ICSI? Yes - we do these cases almost daily. Epididymal sperm, obtained at microsurgical epididymal aspiration (MESA), when used for IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of oocytes, is successful in fertilizing approximately 60% of oocytes. The chance of pregnancy per embryo transferred (10-20%) depend on the woman's age. Pregnancy rates with MESA-ICSI IVF cases depends on the woman's age, but range from 50% per cycle for women under 35 to 20% p[er cycle in women over 39. Testicular sperm obtained from testicular biopsy specimens (TESE) gives successful fertilization of about 50% of injected oocytes with the same implantation rates.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
