title: Use of laser-assisted intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients with a history of poor ICSI outcome and limited metaphase II oocytes.
abstract: In this study, laser-assisted intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) improved the fertilization rate and the embryo quality in patients with a history of poor ICSI outcome and with limited metaphase II oocytes. This technique is less traumatic to the oocytes during the procedure, and the use of the technique may be expanded.
