Abstract:
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with sperm collected by percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) technique is nowadays the main treatment for obstructive azoospermia(OAS). To cryopreserve the epididymal sperm obstained by PESA can avoid repeat retrievals. We transferred the embryos fertilized by ICSI with frozen/thawed epididymal sperm and achieved a delivery, which shows that epididymal sperm obstained by PESA can be successfully cryopreserved.
