title: Results of assisted reproduction techniques in Latin America.
abstract: The fact that today it is possible to write a comprehensive report on assisted reproduction technologies in Latin America is the result of a serious and systematic effort, accomplished by more than 80 centres, from Mexico to Chile. Over the past 10 years, these centres representing the vast majority of assisted reproductive treatment cycles performed in Latin America, have agreed voluntarily to report their work to our regional registry using a pre-established format. Furthermore, during 1999 and part of 2000, all centres were visited by a team of biologists and clinicians, who evaluated for consistencies in the data reported. This activity also included an evaluation of personnel, facilities, etc. It can be proudly said that the data reported are a true reflection of the actual situation in our region.
