[The usefulness of MESA-ICSI (microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration and intracytoplasmic sperm injection) in cases of obstructive azoospermia].
Till the end of March 1998 first seven trials of MESA-ICSI (microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration and intracytoplasmic sperm injection) in the Ist Chair and Clinics of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Silesian Medical Academy in Bytom were performed in cooperation with an urologist from the IInd Chair and Clinics of Urology in Zabrze in couples suffering from sterility caused by obstructive azoospermia. In all the cases both contraindications and conditions of MESA-ICSI were respected. Fertilization rate of the MII oocytes was on average 62% and cleavage rate of the fertilized oocytes 76.9%. After embryo transfer at least two pregnancies occurred, from them one is ongoing well. The result of the last procedure is not known yet. The data obtained permit to conclude, that MESA-ICSI makes a real chance to possess their own children by couples with sterility caused by obstructive azoospermia.
