Outcomes from Micro-TESE through ICSI to live birth
Single-centre retrospective cohort
Library updated:
What was investigated and what was found?
Sperm retrieval, ICSI and live-birth outcomes were examined in 968 patients with NOA.
Interpreting the findings
The live-birth rate among couples who reached ICSI is not the rate among all men who presented for assessment.
How can you prepare for a consultation?
When a publication reports ICSI or live-birth outcomes, ask which stage couples had reached before its rates were calculated. If you have previous treatment records, discuss sperm retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer and pregnancy separately. Outcomes among couples with retrieved sperm or an embryo transfer differ from outcomes among everyone starting assessment.
Let us begin with your diagnosis, previous findings and goals as a couple. You can request an initial consultation with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu to discuss what this research means for your own situation.
