Dr. Schlegel: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in extreme cases of male infertility.

Palermo GD, Neri QV, Schlegel PN, Rosenwaks Z.  Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in extreme cases of male infertility. PLoS One, 9(12): ePub, 2014 (PubMed: 25437298).AbstractINTRODUCTION: Severely compromised spermatogenesis typical of men with virtual azoospermia or non-obstructive azoospermia requires an extreme search for spermatozoa. Our goal was to evaluate the usefulness of a meticulous search carried out in ejaculated or surgically retrieved specimens in achieving pre- and post-... Read More
