Successful pregnancy with intracytoplasmic sperm injection after bacterial contamination of embryo culture in in vitro fertilization: a case report.

Background: Bacterial infection of embryo culture medium is rare but may be detrimental. The main source of embryo culture contamination is semen. Assisted reproduction centers currently lack consensus regarding the methods for preventing and managing embryo culture infection.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection does not improve the outcome of IVF treatments in patients with advanced maternal age or low oocyte number: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was introduced to achieve fertilization in cases of severe male factor infertility. However, ICSI is often used in cases of non-male factor infertility, such as advanced maternal age or low oocyte number, but the clinical benefit of the method in these indications has not been proven.

Material And Methods: A prospective randomized study was conducted in a university clinic between 2018 and 2020.
