Within a nearly two year time period, laboratories around the world have taken up the challenge to dogma raised by this initial report, either to test this concept in an experimental basic science setting or give...http://www.jexpclinassistreprod.com/content/3/1/6 No advantage of laser-assisted over conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection: a randomized controlled trial NCT00114725- July 5, 2006 Background: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a component of infertility treatment often employed when conventional in vitro fertilization is unlikely to be successful. Despite good clinical results with ICSI, the procedure is typically associated with degeneration of a significant percentage (approximately 10%) of the treated oocytes. The cause of this degeneration remains unclear. Speculation that damage caused by oocyte compression during the injection procedure may be responsible...http://www.jexpclinassistreprod.com/content/3/1/5 |
