title: In vitro fertilization and birth after ultrasonically guided transurethral aspiration of oocytes.
abstract: We have described an in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer accomplished by ultrasonically guided transurethral transvesical oocyte aspiration. Follicular aspiration using ultrasonography is a suitable alternative to traditional laparoscopic methods, and may have several advantages, including avoidance of surgical and general anesthesia complications. Further experience with this technique will clarify the benefits and/or risks, and this work is continuing.
