title: [Pregnancy obtained by in vitro fertilization (IVF) with epididymal spermatozoa in obstructive azoospermia: report of two cases].
abstract: Epididymal spermatozoa aspiration was performed in two cases of obstructive azoospermia. After the procedure, in both cases, the patient's wives obtained twin pregnancies by this method in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET). The patient's wife in one case had a normal delivery. The patient's wife in the other case, however, aborted artificially because she had cerebral infarction. Epididymal spermatozoa aspiration proved efficacious for male sterility in cases of obstructive azoospermia.
