Impact of duration of cryopreservation of spermatozoa obtained through testicular sperm extraction on intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
Cryopreservation of testicular spermatozoa is feasible for patients suffering obstructive or nonobstructive azoospermia. A stndardized intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedure using frozen-thawed testicular tissue gives rise to fertilization and cleavage rates, which appear not to be affected by the duration of the period of cryostorage.
