Abstract:
A 31 year old Filipino male diagnosed with obstructive azoospermia underwent TESE. Other current advanced sperm retrieval techniques include MESA, PESA and TESA confounded with female factors such as advanced maternal age and polycystic ovaries, IVF-ICSI eventually resulted to a successful pregnacy outcome. Several factors contributing to the success of IVF-ICSI eventually resulted to a successful pregnancy outcome. Several factors contributing to the success of IVF-ICSI in this case were also discussed. Although assisted reproductive technology is relatively new in our country, it proved to be promising in our local setting.
